Abstract
In many areas of science and technology there is a trend toward the nanoscale or even the atomic level. For instance, electronics is already undergoing a transition from microelectronics to nanoelectronics. As transistors with critical dimensions in the the single digit nanometer range are now in production, consumer electronics products contain now real nanoelectronic devices. Also in many other areas the progress toward the nanoscale is under way.
