Beginning with the fundamentals of nanotechnology, it describes how materials and devices designed at the nanoscale (1 to 100 nanometers) have already revolutionized fields like electronics and medicine. It then discusses advancements in sub-nanometer precision, enabled by techniques such as scanning probe microscopy (SPM), which allow scientists to manipulate individual atoms and molecules with exceptional accuracy. This book further examines atomic-scale engineering, where tools like scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) and atomic force microscopy (AFM) facilitate the precise arrangement of atoms to create specific structures. It also covers molecular nanotechnology, which extends these principles to the design and assembly of complex molecular structures and machines, drawing inspiration from biological systems. In exploring applications, this book highlights how atomic and molecular scale engineering could revolutionize electronics with single-atom transistors and molecular-scale circuits, and transform medicine with advanced drug delivery systems and nanoscale sensors. In addition, applications in environmental remediation, energy storage, computing, and communication systems are presented. Despite the significant challenges, such as achieving precise control and ensuring scalability, the potential for breakthroughs is immense. The journey from nanotechnology to atomic and molecular scale engineering is a crucial step towards the vision of picotechnology, promising groundbreaking advancements with profound impacts on science, technology, and society. 410 0$aLecture Notes in Nanoscale Science and Technology,$x2195-2167 ;$v47 606 $aNanotechnology 606 $aNanoelectromechanical systems 606 $aMaterials 606 $aPhotonics 606 $aNanoscience 606 $aMaterials$xAnalysis 606 $aAtomic structure 606 $aMolecular structure 606 $aNanotechnology 606 $aNanoscale Devices 606 $aPhotonic Devices 606 $aNanophysics 606 $aMaterials Characterization Technique 606 $aAtomic and Molecular Structure and Properties 615 0$aNanotechnology. 615 0$aNanoelectromechanical systems. 615 0$aMaterials. 615 0$aPhotonics. 615 0$aNanoscience. 615 0$aMaterials$xAnalysis. 615 0$aAtomic structure. 615 0$aMolecular structure. 615 14$aNanotechnology. 615 24$aNanoscale Devices. 615 24$aPhotonic Devices. 615 24$aNanophysics. 615 24$aMaterials Characterization Technique. 615 24$aAtomic and Molecular Structure and Properties. 676 $a620.5 700 $aKulkarni$b Shrikaant$01741430 701 $aKulkarni$01889191 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9911064744603321 996 $aA Journey from Nanotechnology to Picotechnology$94545474 997 $aUNINA
