Carbon Nanotubes
Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are allotropes (different structural modifications) of carbon with a nanostructure that can have a length-to-diameter ratio of up to 28,000,000:1, which is significantly larger than any other material. These cylindrical carbon molecules have novel properties that make them potentially useful in many applications.

Nano Computing
The history of computer technology has involved a sequence of changes from gears to relays to valves to transistors to integrated circuits and so on. Soon the parts will become smaller and smaller until they are made up of only a handful of atoms. At this point the laws of classical physics break down and the rules of quantum mechanics take over, so the new quantum technology must replace and/or supplement what we presently have. It will support an entirely new kind of computation with new algorithms based on quantum principles.
