Nanotechnology (molecular manufacturing)

Nanotechnology is the creation of functional materials, devices, and systems through the control of matter at the nanometer scale, at dimensions between approximately 1 and 100 nanometers, where unique phenomena enable novel applications. Molecular manufacturing is a type of nanotechnology that focuses on the assembly of molecules and materials to create structures and devices with … Read more

3-D (three dimensions or three-dimensional)

Three-dimensional (3-D) refers to the visualization of objects in three physical dimensions (length, width, and depth), as opposed to the two-dimensional (2-D) representations found in traditional computer graphics. In a 3-D application, such as a computer game or a virtual reality simulation, objects are represented by polygons, which are geometric shapes composed of three or … Read more
