Engineering On The Edge: The Future Of Nanotechnology And Robotics

A new age of engineering genesis has begun and it is evident that new technologies and methods are being implemented throughout the world. Two of these technologies are Nanotechnology and Robotics. While current methods are just breaking ground with the individual manipulation of atoms and molecules, the visionary idea fueling nanotechnology enthusiasts is the possibility of building manufacturing machines and robots on the nanometer scale. This book gives fundamental insights into a world of nano-sized machines built one atom at a time with the ability to reason and have intelligence on the level with humans. The challenge is to take control of a wider variety of materials than nature provides. This is the future! This is engineering on the edge!
