Elements with a dark background have been linked to one or more nanotech applications that makes use of that element. Whether they are being focused via e-beams or tunneled through STM tips, without the electron there would be no nanotech.
Hydrophobicity is the strongest of the 'weak interactions' that hold molecular components in place.
It is entropy driven and is extremely important for the assembly of nanoscale machinery such as protein, DNA and lipid membranes. A catalogue of breakthroughs in nanotechnology, ranging from dip-pen nanolithography to superconducting molecular wires. Encyclopedia nanotech defines relevant words and then elaborates on how they are used in real nanotechnology. SPM images, computational models, schematic designs and artistic renditions of any nanoscale phenomena are welcome here. Industry Nanotechnology is having an enormous economic impact.
