2. ABSTRACT  Nanotechnology, the short gun marriage of chemistry and engineering in molecular manufacturing or more simply, building things one atom or molecule at a time with programmed nanoscopic robot arms  Carbon tubes, which are the heart for this technology, is highlighted which possesses extraordinary physical and chemical properties because of which it is possible to make incredible components.  The importance of nanotube transistors in making new class of smaller, faster and lower power consumed computer chips is illustrated. In this text proofs for the existence of nanotechnology in the present world are given. It is clearly described with neat and realistic figures how this technology has been a break through in all fields especially in computers and electronics.  Finally, the latest developments taken place in the world are exemplified, ending with an interesting conclusion about the performance of this technology in the future.
