The Nano Living System is a Swiss-made "green" pre-engineered concept for residential use. The design was based on a combination of pre-engineered SIPs (made from cement fiberboard , recycled light gauge steel, and polyurethane foam), the creation of flexible spaces (through Nano Living Systems' "suspending technology"), and the use of ...
The constituting elements of bio-nanoelectromechanical systems (BioNEMS) are of nanoscale size, for example DNA, proteins or nanostructured mechanical parts. Examples include the facile top-down nanostructuring of thiol-ene polymers to create cross-linked and mechanically robust nanostructures that are subsequently functionalized with proteins ...
There is also research into energy production for devices that would operate in vivo, called bio-nano generators. A bio-nano generator is a nanoscale electrochemical device, like a fuel cell or galvanic cell, but drawing power from blood glucose in a living body, much the same as how the body generates energy from food.
Carbon nanotube, includes general nanotube terminology and diagrams [7] DNA nanotube, a two-dimensional lattice which curves back upon itself, [8] somewhat similar in size and shape to a carbon nanotube; Gallium nitride nanotube, a nanotube of gallium nitride [9] Silicon nanotube, made of silicon atoms [10]
Nanomechanics is a branch of nanoscience studying fundamental mechanical (elastic, thermal and kinetic) properties of physical systems at the nanometer scale. Nanomechanics has emerged on the crossroads of biophysics, classical mechanics, solid-state physics, statistical mechanics, materials science, and quantum chemistry.
For example, the drastically enhanced surface-to-volume ratio of the pore results in a preponderance of counter-ions (i.e. ions charged oppositely to the static wall charges) over co-ions (possessing the same sign as the wall charges), in many cases to the near-complete exclusion of co-ions, such that only one ionic species exists in the pore.

In 2005, Mihail Roco, one of the architects of the USA's National Nanotechnology Initiative, proposed four states of nanotechnology that seem to parallel the technical progress of the Industrial Revolution, of which productive nanosystems is the most advanced.
