/nan'oh-k*m-pyoo'tr/ n. A computer whose switching elements are molecular in size. Designs for mechanical nanocomputers which use single-molecule sliding rods for their logic have been propo [..]

A computer made from components (mechanical, electronic, or otherwise) on a nanometer scale.

A proposed future computer in which some of the logic elements are single molecules.

A computer with circuitry so small that it can only be seen through a microscope. Nanocomputers can be electronic (where nanolithography is used to create microscopic circuits), biochemical or organic [..]

A computer with parts built on a molecular scale.

A nanocomputer is a computer that's very small compared to microcomputers and mini-computers. This term refers to any computer or computing device with microscopic or very small dimensions, altho [..]
