nanocomputer
 /nan'oh?k@m?pyoo?tr/, n.

    A computer with mo?lec?u?lar-sized switching elements. Designs for
    mechanical nanocomputers which use single-molecule sliding rods for their
    logic have been proposed. The controller for a nanobot would be a
    nanocomputer.

    /nan'oh-k*m-pyoo'tr/ A computer with
   molecular-sized switching elements.  Designs for mechanical
   nanocomputers which use single-molecule sliding rods for their
   logic have been proposed.  The controller for a nanobot
   would be a nanocomputer.

   Some nanocomputers can also be called quantum computers
   because quantum physics plays a major role in calculations.
   Richard P. Feynman is still cited today for his work in this
   area.
