Molecular bearing, computer model, seen in section. This bearing design is an example of nanotechnology. Each sphere represents an individual atom. It is based on fullerenes, forms of carbon where atoms are bonded to make balls or tubes. Nanotechnology involves the construction of devices at the molecular level.
