 ABSTRACT:
 
 Nanotechnology is being harbingered as the next enabling technology that will redesign the future of several technologies, products and markets.
Thenanotechnology industry isheraldinga new world order.
Nations are focusing on thisemerging technology in particular and serious researches as well as industry efforts arebeing made.
It is described as an
enabling technology
that will pave the way for noveltyin every stream of technology. The number of sectors that are involved are many, due tothemulti-disciplinarynature of the technology, offering scope for numerousopportunities. In this paper we are going to discuss about nano technology, why there isso muchinterestin such technology,approachesin nano technology,road mapof nano technology, and13 developmentsof nano technology such as nano d-ram chips, nano dotstorage, nano technology in sports, smallest nano tube transistor, nano to speed up theinternet, storage punch card, applications and future of this tiny technology whichcommands the future era.
 
WHAT IS NANO TECHNOLOGY?
The “nano” in nanotechnology comes from the Greek word nanos, which meansdwarf.Scientists use this prefix to indicate 10
-9
or one-billionth. Thus a nanosecond isone-billionth of one second; a nanometer is one-billionth of one meter, etc. Objects thatcan be classified as having something to do with nanotechnology are larger than atoms but much smaller than we can perceive directly with our senses. One way to look at thissize scale is that one nanometer (nm) is about 100,000 times smaller than the diameter of a single human hair. The following figure may also help to put this size scale in context.Why a particular size scale should be the basis for so much federal funding, researchactivity and media attention will become apparent soon.Fig: objects of approximate size from 10

HISTORY OF NANO TECHNOLOGY
It all began on29 December, 1959when the American Physicist and later on Nobel Prize Winner,Richard P. Feynman, spoke at the American Physical Society. In his presentation‘There is plenty of room at the bottom’, he described a vision, the productionof the tiniest systems ever, using techniques in the nano cosmos, on a scale withinmillionth’s of a millimeter. Today’s advances in research and development indicate thatnanotechnology will form the future of technological quantum leaps – from materialsciences to electronics, from analytics to biosciences.
Why is there so much interest in nanotechnology?
Nanotechnology is not new – nano products are already in themarketplace, such as stain resistant and wrinkle-free textiles. Given itsfuzzy definition, there is also an element of traditional products underthe nanotechnology banner. However, because nanotechnology is
