Nano Computer

Nano computer is the logical name for a computer smaller than the microcomputer, which is smaller than the minicomputer. More technically, it is a computer whose fundamental parts are no bigger than a few nanometers. For comparison, the smallest part of current state-of-the-art microprocessors measures 28 nm as of March 24, 2012. No commercially available computers that are named nanocomputers exist at this date, but the term is used in science and science fiction. There are several ways nanocomputers might be built, using mechanical, electronic, biochemical, or quantum technology. It was argued in 2007 that it is unlikely that nanocomputers will be made out of semiconductor transistors, as they seem to perform significantly less well when shrunk to sizes under 100 nanometers; however, as of 2011 it is projected that 22 nm lithography devices will ship before 2012. This is based on nanotechnology and in fact one of its major applications. Nano components of such machines make them efficient to use. For every student, teacher, and researcher in the subject, it offers a solid basis for an in-depth understanding of the entire subject area.
