在过去的几年里，多个学科的基础研究揭示了纳米技术作为一门应用科学在广泛行业中的前景。这一进展引起了政府授权机构、商业研究人员和风险资本投资者的关注。纳米级研究计划的资金增加导致对专业人力资源技能、研究工具和实验室基础设施的需求不断增长。本文着眼于一个新的领域的计算工具，已经出现，以满足纳米级的研究实验室的需求，并预测纳米信息学领域的发展，将使新的进步和新的应用在纳米技术。我们从计算机科学和信息学的历史根源开始。接下来，我们将着眼于信息学在特定科学领域和商业领域的发展。最后，我们记录越来越多地使用计算机科学，数据库管理工具，和信息技术架构在纳米级的研究。
Over the past several years basic research across several disciplines has revealed the promise of nanotechnology as an applied science in a wide range of industries. This progress has attracted the attention of government granting authorities, commercial researchers, and venture capital investors. Increased funding for nano-scale research initiatives has led to a growing demand for specialized human resource skills, research tools, and laboratory infrastructure. This paper looks to a new area of computational tools that has emerged to meet the needs of the nano-scale research lab, and predicts the development of the field of nanoinformatics that will enable new advances and new applications in nanotechnology. We start with the historical roots of computer science and informatics. Next we look to the development of informatics into particular areas of science and commercial industries. Finally we document the growing use of computer science, database management tools, and information technology architectures in nanoscale research.
