Computer Science for Nanotechnology: Needs and Opportunities
نویسندگان
چکیده
For many decades, nanotechnology has been developed with cooperation from researchers in several fields of studies including physics, chemistry, biology, material science, engineering, and computer science. In this paper, we explore the nanotechnology development community and identify the needs and opportunities of computer science research in nanotechnology. This paper is intended to benefit computer scientists who are keen to contribute their works to the field of nanotechnology and also nanotechnologists from other fields by making them aware of the opportunities from computer science. It is hoped that this may lead to the realisation of our visions.

متن کاملThe Opportunities Afforded by Embedded Computer Systems for Monitoring and Control of Industrial Processes in Less-Industrialised Countries (TECHNICAL NOTE)
The dramatic changes in integrated-circuit technology over the last two decades have been of great benefit to countries such as Zimbabwe. High volume production of VLSI chips has produced a supply of intelligent, versatile electronic processing devices at very low cost. In particular the facilities of the microcontroller have steadily developed to the accompaniment of a reduction in price. Sinc...
متن کاملHuge opportunities for industry of nanofibrous concrete technology
In spite of the fact that cementitious and concrete materials are mainly used on a large scale and in huge quantities for roads, dams, bridges and building constructions, the mechanical behavior of these materials depends to a great extend on structural elements and phenomena which are effective on a micro and nanoscale. Although this is well known by researchers, material producers and enginee...
