- 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
