Yet, there remains a problem with the "nano" in both nanoscience and nanotechnology. "Nanotechnology's a term with
not too much new in it. It existed a long time ago," says Dai. Indeed, the characteristic length of bonds that have always
been under scrutiny in the molecular sciences is on the order of a nanometer. Chidsey adds, "I worry that the term confuses
people about what's important: the length scale itself is not important." Rather, it is the novel properties that structures
exhibit at the nanoscale that is. As Dai puts it, "We work on carbon nanotubes not because they are small, but because they
are interesting. They just happen to be nano." For all the problems with the term nanotechnology, though, it may have done
some good. Chidsey remarks, "Just as nanotechnology has attracted the attention of outsiders, it also stimulates us
internally: it provides a context for tackling and defining grand challenges-things so out there you wouldn't tackle them
otherwise."

Currently, the gate length, the characteristic length parameter in transistors,
has hit about 90 nm. The shorter the gate length, the faster transistors can
switch on and off. In fact, the transistors have gotten so fast, that the delay
as electrons flow through the skinnier and longer wires needed to cross larger,
complex chips is on track to become the limiting factora in speed. This delay
is just one of the fundamental problems that threatens to make the nanoscale
regime of electronics unfaithful to Moore's Law and demands the design of new
materials and structures or a complete shift in chip architecture.
"Whether nanotechnology had ever showed up or not, electronics would have gotten
there anyway," says Professor Saraswat. For the past four decades, the number of
transistors that can be put on a chip, or equivalently, the number of information
processing events that can be done per chip, has doubled every twenty-two months;
concomitantly, the cost per processing event has dropped. Following this trend called
Moore's Law, microelectronics has steadily settled into nanoelectronics in the past
decade.
