Whats nanotech ????

It is the creation and use of materials , instruments , and
systems involving matter that measures between 1 and 100
nanometers.

nanometer = one billionth of a meter (10 –9 meter )

Researchers will be able to control , manipulate and
characterise matter as well as understand how to exploit its
properties.
Nanotechnology is expected to launch a veritable
technological revolution

Nano is just starting

Despite the research over past two years, this field is still
very much in its infancy.
 The area of electronics and especially computers will soon
hit sky……
 Nanoelectronics research at private companies, public
laboratories, and university centers will lead to the
discovery of new technologies likely to replace those that
exist today.
 Lastly, computer simulations are crucial to
nanotechnology.They require extremely powerful
computers as well as new simulation software.

Can matter become Software ????

believe that matter
Will be Planned,
Constructed,
Exchanged like
software.
 New programing
language “ ATO “
 Motto : Don’t just
know the future,
create it!

Atomasoft Strategy
 Partner
with manufacturers
 Create the media
 Create the simulation/design
 Create the software
 Create the marketing
 Sell the design / simulation
 Create better partnerships
 Create faster, better & cheaper devices

AtomAsoft’s LAw ::
When nanotechnology
becomes a reality,
manufacturing industries
will split in two:
Design/Simulation +
Manufacturers
Miniaturization * ( design
/Simulation + Manufacturing)=
Globalization in the industry.

Theory behind the idea ……
※ Matter
will become music (easy
download)
※ An universal OS as universal as “ ATOM “
※ Synonyms of matter will become software
※ Why will matter become software?
※ Better than open source
※ Programming everywhere
※ A new business model

Atomasoft’s goals

Develop new theories , methods, software essential to describe the
properties of electronical, chemical, biological, and materials systems.

Apply the new methods to critical problems faced by scientists and
engineers in industry and academia.

Assist industrial and government laboratories with support and
guidance on theory, modeling, and simulation.

Transfer this technology to industry through collaborations,
publications, and workshops.

Atomasoft’s Future Organisation
11
Research underway in US, Europe,
Japan & Canada

Public funding for
nanowork in the US
increased dramatically.
 Agencies that involve
are NSF and NIH and
Defense.
 Workshops near
Universities
13

For Europe research will
increase by 13% within
couple of years.
 Research centers are
outfitted with Latest
Equipment and Extensive
staff support.
14
Works in Canada ( alberta & Quebec )

Plan of Nanotechnology
institute in Alberta
 60 researchers are active
in nanotechnogy at
Quebec Universities
 Funds and infrastructure
being raised to pick up
the pace in coming years.
15
Continued…….

Universities and government recruit 54 research
professors specialised in Nanotech
 Minister for research, science and technology take
responsibility for establishing a major center
specialised in nanotechnology within three years.
 Substantial federal government contribution for
the development of nanotechnology in Quebec.

What will be the Effect of Nanotech……..
"Will the concept of money be valid in a mature
nanotechnology industrial future?
When anyone can ask their computer for
self-assembling consumer goods, made
overnight in the corner of their garage and
using free materials from the atmosphere,
where does the concept of cash come in ? "
17
Continued………
If you chafe at the restrictions put on the use of proprietary
software today, imagine the frustration of proprietary code
for the nanomanufature of items, such as foodstuffs.
It could look something like this:
By nanofaturing this sandwich using Consolidated Global Nanocodes software, you
agree to the following restrictions and limitations.
You may only make one copy of this sandwich, on one nanofacturer.
You may not transfer, or lend this program to any other person, organization or
device.
You may not share the recipe for the sandwich, or try to reverse engineer the
ingredients by taste, smell or any other sense.
You may allow another to smell your meal, but may not share the meal with any other
person, or organization. Consumption of the meal by another requires a
separate license.
Breach of this License is bound to result in severe criminal penalties under the
intellectual property laws, and can include, but is not limited to, repossession
of the meal by force, before, or after consumption, and/or 5 years in a Global
Nanocodes institution for the criminally insane .

Good news for C/ C++ Programers



Are you a creative
programmer looking for a
challenging project that will
help revolutionise the world ?
Project involves the
development of a simulation
software known as NanoSim
that will allow users to design,
store, and simulate their
molecular constructs
computationally.

Conclusion
 Is
all lost, are we all on the verge of losing our
jobs??
 Will our Kids have jobs ???
 What jobs will be around in the future????
 Whatever the questions are invention of New
Technologies will never stop ……
 So why not make some
before we loose
everything ?????
