Due to rapidly approaching limits in achievable feature sizes through microfabrication, various aspects of nanotechnology have been actively investigated to achieve specific goals in the aforementioned areas of materials, energy production, and electronics that couldnt be previously realized.For example, through the dexterous manipulation of molecules, innovative concepts of materials and devices have been proposed and developed that harness the activity of biological molecules, or uncover new insight into fundamental phenomena.The advent of these molecular manufacturing technologies traverses both the micro and nanotechnological realms to provide a rigorous understanding of the fundamental science underlying molecular structures and its applications to artificial manipulation of molecules in order to achieve specific functions with high efficiency.Upon the completion of such functional materials at the molecular level, the interface from the nanoscale to micro-and macro-scale should be provided to lead the novel micro/nanosystems to a real marketplace.
