Large scale nanomanufacturing processes that produce quality nanomaterials New smartphones typically have more than one billion transistors are still being researched and developed These processes fall into two categories Top down approaches start with full sized materials and break them down into nano sizes The making of computer components falls in this category By contrast bottom up approaches build materials at an atomic or molecular level often employing complicated chemical processes to result in the desired materials Many more applications of nanotechnology are being studied in universities and research and development departments around the world But before they could make these advances scientists had to be able to see the nanomaterials they were working with 12
