Nanochemistry

advantages:
  • scientists can synthesize organic molecules for laboratory use
  • make new catalysts for certain chemical reactions because inorganic molecules have peculiar physical properties
  • carry out controlled chemical reactions within nanotubes
  • can be used to create nanowires which can be used in computers
  • can be used to build objects atom by atom, which has applications in quantum computing

disadvantages:
  • nanosystems have their own set of rules for how the system can operate and under what conditions it can be used
  • nanosystems are not yet fully understood (still a new technology)
  • spatial control and stability issues would arise from atomic-scale devices
  • expensive technology
  • difficult to manipulate due to incredibly small size
