Abstract
The authors envision computational nanotechnology's role in
developing the next generation of multifunctional materials and
molecular-scale electronic and computing devices, sensors, actuators,
and machines. They briefly review computational techniques and provide a
few recent examples derived from computer simulations of carbon
nanotube-based molecular nanotechnology. The four core areas are:
molecular-scale, ultralightweight, extremely strong, functional or smart
materials; molecular-scale or nanoscale electronics with possibilities
for quantum computing; molecular-scale sensors or actuators; and
molecular machines or motors with synthetic materials. The underlying
molecular-scale building blocks in all four areas are fullerenes and
carbon nanotube-based molecular materials. Only the different aspects of
their physical, chemical, mechanical, and electronic properties create
the many applications possible with these materials in vastly different
areas
