![Nano Technology: Molecular bearing. Computer scientist Ralph Merkle models a molecular bearing designed on computer. Merkle is head of Computational Nanotechnology at Xerox Parc (Palo Alto Research Center) in California, USA. Using desktop simulations he builds tiny machines atom by atom, such as this frictionless bearing, which would be too small to see even with the world's most powerful microscope. Although still on the frontiers of science, nanotechnology could one day lead to a host of revolutionary miniature inventions, such as microscopic nanorobots that patrol the human body in search of cancer tumors.

![Nano / Micro Technology: Eric Drexler. Portrait of US nanotechnologist and author Eric Drexler. He is seated in front of a computer simulation of a diamondoid molecular bearing model of a robot he designed. This nanotechnology robot is so tiny it is made up of a precise number of atoms (orange and grey spheres). Although still on the frontiers of science, a robot like this may one day assemble molecules one-by-one, eat up pollutants, function as computers the size of a virus, or patrol the human body in search of cancer tumors. Eric Drexler developed the concept of nanotechnology in his books The Engines of Creation and Nanosystems.

![Micro Technology: Micromechanics: Scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of a mite (Acarimetaseiulus occidentalis) on the surface of a silicon micro-resonator 'chip'. The micro- resonator, or 'semaphore structure', is a product of micromechanics. Micro-resonators are use to make tiny vibration sensors for engineering use. The comb-like detector ends of the micro- resonators are seen here, a thin strand of silicon running from the left detector toward top left is attached to a large resonant mass. The absence of a resonant mass fixed to the right detector indicates a fault in manufacture. To give an idea of scale, the silicon strand is 2 microns thick and 2 microns wide. Reid Brennan's semaphore structure with mite. [1990]](https://m.psecn.photoshelter.com/img-get2/I0000DkBw0Qlh1EI/fill=/fit=180x180/I0000DkBw0Qlh1EI.jpg)
![At U.C. Berkeley, graduate student Bill Tand holds a wafer with thousands of micromotors like the one he designed seen on the video and rear-screen projected behind him: a 200 micron linear resonator. Model Released [1990]](https://m.psecn.photoshelter.com/img-get2/I0000UNW4a1o833Q/fill=/fit=180x180/I0000UNW4a1o833Q.jpg)
![Micro Technology: Micromechanics: Scientist looking at a processed wafer of silicon through an optical microscope. In the background is a highly magnified image of a micro motor. The wafer being studied contains over 7,000 such micro motors on its surface, made by the same process as is used to manufacture microcircuits. In the background is a 130 Micron Rotor. Model Released [1990]](https://m.psecn.photoshelter.com/img-get2/I0000gYKLlTwA1x8/fill=/fit=180x180/I0000gYKLlTwA1x8.jpg)
![Micro Technology: Micromechanics: Light micrograph of the detector 'teeth' of a micro-resonator. This is a tiny mechanical resonating structure, made by the same silicon deposition process used in the manufacture of microcircuits. The 'teeth' seen here detect the motion of the resonator, the central buff-colored object. The dark vertical lines running above and below the resonator are the strands of silicon connecting the sensor to the resonant masses. The strands are only two microns thick, but at this scale silicon has a greater mechanical strength than steel. Micro-resonators have a variety of uses in detecting very small amplitude motions.
