NANOTECHNOLOGY INDUSTRY DEFINITION (continued):
and memory chips. It has been suggested that each data bit could be stored in a single atom. Carrying this further, a single atom might even be able to represent a byte or word of data. Nanofabrication has also caught the attention of the medical industry, the military, and the aerospace industry. There are several ways that nanofabrication might be done. One method involves scaling down integrated-circuit (IC) fabrication that has been standard since the
