Approaches in nanotechnology
Two main approaches are used in nanotechnology. In the "bottom up" approach, materials and devices are built from molecular components which assemble themselves chemically by principles of molecular recognition. In the "top down" approach, Nano-objects are constructed from larger entities without atomic-level control.
