Atomic and close-to-atomic scale manufacturing A trend inmanufacturing development

摘要

Manufacturing is the foundation of a nation＇seconomy. It is the primary industry to promote economicand social development. To accelerate and upgrade China＇smanufacturing sector from ＂precision manufacturing＂ to＂high-performance and high-quality manufacturing＂, anew breakthrough should be found in terms of achieving a＂leap-frog development＂. Unlike conventional manufac-turing, the fundamental theory of ＂Manufacturing 3.0＂ isbeyond the scope of conventional theory; rather, it is basedon new principles and theories at the atomic and/or close-to-atomic scale. Obtaining a dominant role at theinternational level is a strategic move for China＇s progress.
