1. Nanofabrication,
NanoDisplay and NanoRobotics
Jing Li, Shannon Yao, Christine Wu

2. NanoRobotics
The technology of
creating machines or
robots at or close to
the microscopic scale
of a nanometer
NanoDisplays
A display composed of
nano-sized cells
Nanofabrication
Building or sculpting
on the nano-scale on
the level of individual
molecules

3. NanoRobotics
Still being developed, but
primitive molecular
machine has been tested,
for example, a sensor
having a switch approx.
1.5 nanometers across,
and capable of counting
specific molecules in a
chemical sample.
Nanofabrication
IBM’s manipulation of
Xenon atoms on
nickel to form the logo
NanoDisplays
University of
Michigan develops
Super High-Def
Displays

4. NanoRobotics
Still highly speculative.
Four different approaches:
1. Biochip
2. Nucleic Acid (Nubots)
3. Positional nanoassembly
4. Bacteria based
Offer a possible cheap fabrication
method in the future due to self
replicating properties of the nanobots.

5. NanoDisplays
New color filter technology.
Cheaper, more flexible, more compact than traditional LCD screens.

6. Nanofabrication
Top-Down Approach
Bottom-Up Approach

7. NanofabricationNanoDisplaysNanoRobotics
Can help with
advances in medical
field, such as
diagnosis, medicine
delivery, and cure.
Detection of toxic
chemicals and
measurement of
concentration in
environment
Detailed control of
materials allows for
creation of new
materials
Gives ability to create
super-high density
microprocessors and
memory chips
because each data bit
could be stored in a
single atom
Higher Resolution
displays.
Cost-efficient way of
creating displays.
More energy
efficient, because it
uses natural light.

Harnessing energy for nanorobots
Using air as a raw material for Nanofabrication
Nano-sensor technology
