The twenty-first century is rapidly becoming the age of nanotechnology. Everything seems to be getting smaller these days, especially in the electronic and scientific fields. The fuel-efficient Mazda Miata and Toyota MR2 have become the city commuter's must-have vehicles. The bulky boom-box has been replaced by the more socially responsible Apple iPod, with its miniscule rotating hard disk drive. The familiar 5-inch CD is being replaced by 3-inch versions, with smaller ones on the horizon. The playing-card sized (86 by 54 mm) PCMCIA storage device has been supplanted by fingernail-sized (10 by 15 mm) TransFlash memory cards [1]. This miniaturizing effect feeds upon itself as smaller products require even smaller components of every description, fueling the demand for yet tinier devices.
