Abstract

Nanomanipulation as a new emerging area enables to change, interact and control the nano scale phenomenon precisely. Nanomanipulation systems are surveyed in this paper. Nanomanipulation approaches are grouped according to their starting point, utilized process, operation type, manipulation environment, interaction type, etc. Main components of such systems such as nanomanipulators, nano physics, sensors, actuators, and control are given in detail. Problems are defined and possible solutions are proposed. Moreover, possible applications in biotechnology, computer technology, material science and micro/nanotechnology are reported
