Molecular bearing. Computer model of a molecular bearing, an example of nanotechnology. Each of the coloured spheres represents a single atom. Structures like this can be constructed using carbon-based compounds. Nanotechnology involves the construction of devices at the molecular level. Although it is still largely at the research stage, it promises to revolutionise computing, medicine and manufacturing.
