Special Section on Nanomaterials and Nanodevices for Nanoscience and Nanotechnology

摘要

A human being is facing a lot of problems in energy, environment, food, health, etc for the sustainable development of the world. A possible solution to overcome these issues is to use nanoscience and nanotechnology. The advantage of "nano" is not only the size reduction but also the occurrence of new phenomena by using the nanomaterials or nanostructures. Nanoscience and nanotechnology are expected to become powerful tools to change the world. For the advances of nanoscience and nanotechnology, it is expected that the electronics will play an important role. Especially, the development of nanomaterials and nanodevices is a key technology in the future electronics society. These new technologies will be surely used not only in the developed countries but also in the developing countries.
