This paper is a roadmap to the exhaustive role of the newly emerging field of nanotechnology in various application and research areas. Some of the today's important topics are plasma, dielectric layer semiconductor, and carbon nanoparticle based technologies. Carbon nanotubes are very useful for the purpose of fabricating nano opto power devices. The basic concept behind tunneling of electrons has been utilized to define another scope of this technology, and thus came many quantum scale tunneling devices and elements. Fabrication of crystal semiconductors of high quality along with oxides of nano aspect would give rise to superior device performance and find applications such as LEDs, LASER, VLSI technology and also in highly efficient solar cells. Many nano-research based organizations are fully devoted to develop nano power cells, which would give birth to new battery cells, tunneling devises, with high power quality, longer lives, and higher activation rates. Different electronics industries as well as the military organizations would be largely benefited due to this major component and system design ideas of 'Smart Power' technologies. The contribution of nano scale power electronics would be realized in various fields like switching devices, electromechanical systems and quantum science. Such a sophisticated technology will have great impact on the modernization of robotics; space systems, automotive systems and many other fields. The highly emerging field of nanomedicine according to specialists would bring a dramatic revolution in the present century. However nanomedicine is nothing but an integration of biology, medicine and technology. Thermoelectric materials as been referred earlier also are used in case of implantable medical equipments for generation of electric power sufficient for those equipments.
In recent past, research has been broadly based on controlling matter at nanometer scale, and this idea led to the development of new materials with unique and useful properties. Thus, the implementation of new technology has so far made possible many small-scale power electronic circuits and elements, which are widely being used, in various commercial applications. Nano power electronics is a developing field, where the circuitry is composed of molecular dimensional power electronic components, which includes all types of power switches and devices. The area of nano power electronics have recently been the most intensive area of concentration for researchers of all fields like material science, biotechnology, physics, chemistry, and all engineering fields. Nano scale electronics would define the latest advancements in the solid-state device technology; to make nanometer dimensional FET and MOSFET switches operate for molecular scale circuits and devices. Micro and nano scale electromechanical systems which function with many nano scale elements inbuilt within them, are very useful for different purposes in medical science and many other areas.
