As we approach the nanoscale, advances in molecular biology, genomics, electrical engineering, computer science, SUSY* physics, and mathematics are experiencing
a convergence of processes in all these fields that contain both synergy and chaos. A quarter century ago we reached the microscale with microtechnology, when Mead and Conway1 envisioned a roadmap for very-large-scale integrated (VLSI) systems design as a multidisciplinary endeavor. Now we need a roadmap for modeling, design, and fabrication of nanosystems. This book describes many of the necessary steps in such a roadmap, and in this chapter we discuss some of the nanoarchitecture and related aspects that will play an increasing role in nanosystems.
