Nanotechnology was first used to describe the techniques that are associated with semiconductor processing. These techniques are still heavily used to make computer chips and other solid-state devices, but many other industries are now being impacted. The same tools and processes are finding applications in areas such as energy production and may improve our ability to find alternative energy sources. Increased efficiency, alternative materials and means of storage are all being impacted by nanotechnology.
