quantum computer
Physics; Nanotechnology
A computer that takes advantage of quantum mechanical properties such as superposition and entanglement resulting from nanoscale, molecular, atomic and subatomic components. ...
quantum confined atoms (QCA)
Physics; Nanotechnology
Atoms caged inside nanocrystals. May find uses in clear-glass sunglasses, bio-sensors, and optical computing.
quantum cryptography
Physics; Nanotechnology
A system based on quantum- mechanical principles. Eavesdroppers alter the quantum state of the system and so are detected. Developed by Brassard and Bennett, only small laboratory ...
posthuman
Physics; Nanotechnology
Persons of unprecedented physical, intellectual, and psychological capacity, self-programming, self-constituting, potentially immortal, unlimited individuals.
protein design, protein engineering
Physics; Nanotechnology
The design and construction of new proteins; an enabling technology for nanotechnology.
protein folding
Physics; Nanotechnology
The process by which proteins acquire their functional, preordained, three-dimensional structure after they emerge, as linear polymers of amino acids, from the ribosome.

proteomics
Physics; Nanotechnology
Proteomics refers to the analysis of the expression, localizations, functions, and interactions of proteomes. The term proteome refers to all the proteins expressed by a genome, ...
