STMs. It is now twenty years since the scanning tunneling microscope (STM) was invented, allowing us to see atoms for the first time. The STM works by detecting small currents flowing between the microscope tip and the sample being observed (the current flows because of quantum mechanical tunneling). AFMs. Five years later a device with similar capabilities, the atomic force microscope (AFM), was invented, which has a tiny probe on the end of a cantilever (like a springboard). The probe makes contact with the surface of the sample and, as it moves over it, is deflected by the variations in the surface, causing the cantilever to bend. The bending of the cantilever is detected by a laser beam and, again, we get atomic resolution. Scanning Probe Microscopes.

Current manufacturing processes use lithography to imprint circuits on semiconductor materials. While lithography has improved dramatically over the last two decades to the point where some manufacturing plants can produce circuits smaller than one micron (1,000 nanometers) it still deals with aggregates of millions of atoms. It is widely believed that lithography is quickly approaching its physical limits. To continue reducing the size of semiconductors , new technologies that juggle individual atoms will be necessary. This is the realm of nanotechnology.

Extractions: A computer can make anything... almost. If you have AutoCad, 3D Studio Max, and RenderMan, you can design any machine, you can create objects of any kind and animate them, and you can render them to make them look realistic. If you have a printer, you can print pictures of them. You can even make pictures of the computer not only pictures of how it looks, but animated diagrams of all its internal workings. Theoretically you could do this at whatever level of detail you want. So a computer can almost make anything, including copies of itself. Of course, you can't make the objects themselves. But you can almost make them. You can do everything except the last step. Now suppose, in addition to your printer, you have another peripheral, which can go ahead and make the object itself. This is the famous "box" the desktop manufacturing facility. With the box, the computer can make anything, including copies of itself. The thing is, there is a long learning curve for any program capable of making anything. There are thick books one must read before using AutoCad. It takes a while to get started with such software, even for someone with considerable sophistication. I have been using computers for a long time, but I couldn't just sit down and start using a 3D modeling program. It would probably take me at least a month to reach fluency in 3D Studio Max, and longer for AutoCad. It takes years to learn all the nuances of such programs, even for professionals who use the software every day.
Technology Review The Nanotube Computer The Nanotube computer The nano future is emerging through the haze of hype In thehypefilled world of nanotechnology, Phaedon Avouris, head of IBM Researchs http://www.techreview.com/articles/rotman0302.asp
Extractions: In the hype-filled world of nanotechnology, Phaedon Avouris, head of IBM Researchs nanoscience and technology group, has a reputation as a meticulous and somewhat skeptical scientist. By his own description, he is one of those researchers whom reporters call to get a realistic assessment of the latest nanotech breakthrough. These days, though, the IBM chemist sounds uncharacteristically upbeat. The reason for his excitement can be seen in a microscopic image recently produced in his lab. It shows a thin thread draped over several thick gold electrodes. What is not so apparent is that the thread, a single carbon nanotube, has been modified and positioned so that it forms two types of transistors, each a few nanometers (billionths of a meter) in diameter a hundred times smaller than the transistors now found on computer chips. Whats more, the nanotube transistors work together as a logic gate, the fundamental computer component responsible for selectively routing electrical signals, transforming them into meaningful ones and zeroes. The IBM device is one of the first examples of electronic circuitry constructed out of individual molecules. And while its merely a crude laboratory demonstration, its successful fabrication is nevertheless a further tantalizing clue that carbon nanotubes could one day replace silicon crystals as the building blocks for ultrafast, ultrasmall computers. More measurements are needed, says Avouris, but our current results show, after taking into account difference in size, nanotube transistors show a performance superior to that of state-of-the-art silicon transistors.
21st Century Science - Nanotechnology are less than one micron this work is often called nanotechnology. Submicronlithography is clearly very valuable (ask anyone who uses a computer!) but it http://www.21stcentury.co.uk/science/nanotechnology.asp
Extractions: Manufactured products are made from atoms. The properties of those products depend on how those atoms are arranged. If we rearrange the atoms in coal we can make diamond. If we rearrange the atoms in sand (and add a few other trace elements) we can make computer chips. If we rearrange the atoms in dirt, water and air we can make potatoes. Todays manufacturing methods are very crude at the molecular level. Casting, grinding, milling and even lithography move atoms in great thundering statistical herds. It's like trying to make things out of LEGO blocks with boxing gloves on your hands. Yes, you can push the LEGO blocks into great heaps and pile them up, but you can't really snap them together the way you'd like. In the future, nanotechnology will let us take off the boxing gloves. We'll be able to snap together the fundamental building blocks of nature easily, inexpensively and in almost any arrangement that we desire. This will be essential if we are to continue the revolution in computer hardware beyond about the next decade, and will also let us fabricate an entire new generation of products that are cleaner, stronger, lighter, and more precise It's worth pointing out that the word "nanotechnology" has become very popular and is used to describe many types of research where the characteristic dimensions are less than about 1,000 nanometers. For example, continued improvements in lithography have resulted in line widths that are less than one micron: this work is often called "nanotechnology." Sub-micron lithography is clearly very valuable (ask anyone who uses a computer!) but it is equally clear that lithography will not let us build semiconductor devices in which individual dopant atoms are located at specific lattice sites. Many of the exponentially improving trends in computer hardware capability have remained steady for the last 50 years. There is fairly widespread confidence that these trends are likely to continue for at least another ten years, but then lithography starts to reach its fundamental limits.

Nanotechnology And Intellectual Property: computer Software and Intellectual Property We explain in detailthe component parts of an exemplary computer software patent. http://www.ashland.edu/~iajwa/conferences/2002/PDPTA/tutorial2.html
Extractions: Austin, Texas 78701, USA Duration: 3 Hours, 30 Minutes Focusing on the business and technical objectives, this course introduces the different kinds of intellectual property rights protection and valuation mechanisms, including patents, trade secrets, and carefully negotiated contracts. In the beginning, the course surveys the different types of intellectual property rights and how they relate to one another. The material further teaches how to identify and extract value from intellectual properties arising through engineering and technical efforts underway in computer software companies and commercialization efforts. We show how to establish a program for promoting invention disclosures submission in developing a valuable computer software intellectual property portfolio. The course reports on the different classes and technology areas of recently issued computer software patents and published patent applications: who is receiving these patents (companies and inventors), what the patents cover, and what they mean for ongoing computer software research and development efforts. We explain in detail the component parts of an exemplary computer software patent. This demonstrates key aspects of the patent property, as well as how the patent serves as a valuable research and development tool. The instructor addresses the different steps to build a valuable intellectual property program and who should take the steps. Furthermore, the course helps the student develop an understanding of how to assess the patent rights of a competitive or similar commercialization effort.
