ABSTRACT

Discusses current research on microscopic machinery, focusing primarily on the new field of nanotechnology. New developments in moving individual atoms and manipulating molecules to make ultra-tiny switches; One of the technology's pioneers, Kurt Petersen of Lucas NovaSensor, a micromanufacturing company in Fremont, Calif.; The biggest advantage of minuscule machinery; The possibilities that arise with the ability to do microconstruction with individual atoms.
