[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] hellmunky What I meant about the things being man made is this. All th elements from 110 (I think that's right) are manmade. I was saying that all the next elements have to be manmade. I was talking about something entirely different from naotechnology. Nanotech is little machines, not the atoms that make them. Because look at this an atom cannot be divided in 2 because it is the smallest it could be. A nanotech machine would be made up of atoms. Plus an atom = an element. An element is just a type of atom i.e. Hydrogen, Helium, and Lithium.[/quote] You didn't get me:) nanotech is not little machines... that's what most people think though... nanotech is any technology that deals with measurements in 1*10^(-9) till 1*10^(-12)... mostly it's used to put small parts of atom together... but another posibillity is to recreate atomes... to move them around... make them react to eachother in new ways... who knows, maybe physically forcing to materials together could create a new... noonw knows but a lot of scientist are trying to figure it out... of course it's years away... none of us will live to see it... but it is possible for us to discover a lot of new atoms... a lot of them actually... also just by travelling in space which nanotech will also help make easier... of course we would not be able to use most of the new materials at all, but they would still be there... so far the manmade atoms have had little to none useabilities(grammar/speling??), but heck... that might change too...
