Nanotechnology is the branch of technology that deals with dimensions and tolerances of less than 100 nanometers, especially the manipulation of individual atoms and molecules. An example of a real-world application is the invention of artificially-crafted enzymes that can convert cellulose into ethanol (wood to fuel). The benefits of nanotechnology can improve fields ranging from electronics, medical, and energy applications. “Molecular nanotechnology is especially associated with the molecular assembler, a machine that can produce the desired structure or device atom-by-atom using the principles of mechanosynthesis.” The main benefit of utilizing nanotechnology is to create a product that is lightweight and high-strength/durability. This means the product must have less mass than its reproduced-counterpart.
