Resumen

Lately, an important application for Nanotechnology is renewable energy. Scientistsand engineers have discovered that by using this technology efficiency, cost, size, and weightare improved directly, and the environment and green energy are improved indirectly.Benefits such as these make the investment of capital in the research and development ofnanotechnology a top priority element, such as in the strategic European plan. An importantsubfield of nanotechnology related to energy is nanofabrication. Nanofabrication is the processof designing and creating devices on the nanoscale. Creating devices smaller than 100nanometers opens many doors for the development of new ways to capture, store, and transferenergy. The inherent level of control that nanofabrication could give scientists and engineerswould be critical in solving many of the problems the world is facing today with the currentgeneration of energy technologies. Another current problem is the cost of nanofabrication
