Nanotechnology deals with the creation of functional materials, devices and systems in the nanoscale through exploiting novel properties (physical, chemical, electrical) arising solely due to the small scale. This is a broad, enabling technology with expected impact on materials and manufacturing, electronics and computing, health and medicine, energy, transportation, national security and space exploration. The basic science and applications are of great deal of interest to the ASME community. This talk will provide an overview of nanotechnology based on emerging nanomaterials such as carbon nanotubes (CNTs) and inorganic nanowires, nanosensors and detectors, nanoelectromechanical systems, material growth and fabrication approaches.
