Abstract

A quiet revolution is occurring in electronics where nanometals have the ability to revolutionize adhesives and solders, nano oxides are revolutionizing fuel cell efficiency, and nanowires as well as nanotubes have the potential both to enhance short term evolutionary and long term revolutionary improvement.

This paper outlines some roadmap predictions and picks three areas with concrete examples- nano metals for ink jet formation of circuits, nano oxides in fuel cells, and lithographically developed nanowires for sensor application and details technical and commercial progress.
