Using
small building blocks (e.g. Atoms or
molecules) to create larger items or structures.
Diametrical method of a top down process, mainly used by nature in biological
systems or by chemists to construct larger objects by
combining molecules.
Building
larger objects from smaller building blocks. Nanotechnology seeks to use atoms and molecules
as those building blocks. The advantage of bottom-up design is that the
covalent bonds
holding together a single molecule
are far stronger than the weak. [NTN] Mostly done by chemists, attempting to
create structure by connecting molecules.
