Future of Nanotechnology

Abstract

Nanotechnology is the science that studies the use of matter on a nanometric scale. It is the promising means of manipulating individual atom and molecule of an object at the nanoscale. It is an emerging science which is expected to have strong future developments. Although it is hard to predict what will happen to nanotechnology in the next 100 years, we know that nanotechnology will be a powerful tool of science and technology in the future. This paper introduces recent trends in nanotechnology and its future scope. It also addresses known barriers to future progress in nanotechnology and its applications.
