Nanocomputing

Nanocomputer is a smaller computer than the microcomputer which is smaller than the minicomputer.  Microelectronic components which are at the heart of all modern electronic devices employ transistors of semiconductors. The term nanocomputer is used increasingly to refer to the size of general computing devices comparable to a credit card. Nanocomputing explains computing that uses machines that are incredibly small (one nanometer [nm] is one billionth of a metre). In 2001, state-of-the-art computer equipment, which is around the same size as a virus, may be as small as around 100 nm. Nonetheless, the Integrated Circuits (IC) industry is looking to the future to assess the smallest possible electronic devices inside the limits of computing technology. Until the mid-1990s the generally denoted circuit term "nanoscale" has features less than 100 nm. Since the beginning of the 2000s, the IC industry started constructing commercial devices at these size scales, the term "nanocomputing" has been reserved for computer features far below 50 nm, including the size of individual molecules, which are only a few nm.
