In the nanotechnology world, top-down manufacturing is where machines, or other systems, create things or items with small features. For example, the manufacture of the current microprocessor chips requires the use of circuits with paths of fewer than 50 nanometers. In bottom-up manufacturing, the assembly starts with the smallest particles such as
molecules, combined or arranged to create a new material or characteristic. This often takes the form of modifying cells and similar structures. In this realm, research is being undertaken in the area of molecular self-assembly, whereby molecules would combine to create desired materials.
