Nanotechnology

Nanotechnology comprises technological developments on the nanometer scale, usually 0.1 to 100 nm. (One nanometer equals one thousandth of a micrometer or one millionth of a millimeter.) The term has sometimes been applied to microscopic technology. This article discusses nanotechnology, nanoscience, and "molecular nanotechnology."

Scientists in the Field

Dr. David G. Grier, of New York University, has developed a method of rapidly modulating laser beams via a dynamic spatial light modular (SLM) in the form of a phase only hologram. (http://www.physics.nyu.edu/grierlab/)
