Self-Assembly and Fabrication on the Atomic Level Enable Nanomanipulation, Business and Industry Trends Analysis

Nanomanipulation can be divided into two categories:  fabrication and self-assembly.  Fabrication is the construction of things on the atomic or near-atomic level.  Self-assembly relies on chemical processes or other natural forces to automate the construction of atomic structures, similar to the replication of DNA in the human body.
Basic nanostructures encompass such simple and useful items as wires (a thin line of conducting atoms surrounded by an equally thin shell of insulating atoms), rods (which can be used in a variety of applications, from information storage and sensors to miniature diodes, cathodes and other integral components for electronics) and dots (small but exceedingly useful markers that can be used as atomic tracking devices).  Other materials that will no doubt become extremely useful for self-assembly include nanocatalysts, which speed up chemical reactions.
