What Are the Latest Projects in Nanotechnology?

Hello there. I am not sure if this is the right place to post but anyway...

I was asked to make a paper for my solid state course concerning one of the following subjects :

1) Nanotechnology
2) Organic Electronics
3) Organic Semiconductors
4) Spintronics

I am not sure which one i will choose, just wanted some guidance as to what would be most interesting to explore given this opportunity. I realize that Nanotechnology for example is something very general, so I am looking for some info about the latest projects in this field. Solid state has never really been in my area of interest so i could use some info as to where i should focus. I would really like to avoid a copy-paste "wikipedia" paper.So any articles concerning the above or any help of any kind would be welcome.

Im sorry if i wasn't very clear, my limited knowledge in this area is obvious, i guess.Thank you in advance for reading.

it does sounds general, but it’s weird to directly point up the latest projects in this field, unless if you want to write about this specific topic. if your paper is going to be about nanotechnology in general, you should preview the advantages of nano materials compared with the bulk ones, synthesis methods, the improvement it shows in devices performance and potential applications and so on. I suggest you read this;

# Nanotechnology: shaping the world atom by atom [12 pages]<------good and general
link: http://www.ebookspdf.com/science/5552/nanotechnology-shaping-the-world-atom-by-atom/"

# Nanocrystalline materials and coatings [88 pages]<-------most of it about synthesis methods
link: google it.

good luck

Hey, thanks for fast reply.

No i don't intend to go too deep but i would like to mention a few things about latest projects after making a introduction to the subject. And since i have absolutely no idea about what those solid state ppl are on about, i thought to give it a try and ask for some suggestions here.
 
Thread 'Need help understanding this figure on energy levels'
This figure is from "Introduction to Quantum Mechanics" by Griffiths (3rd edition). It is available to download. It is from page 142. I am hoping the usual people on this site will give me a hand understanding what is going on in the figure. After the equation (4.50) it says "It is customary to introduce the principal quantum number, ##n##, which simply orders the allowed energies, starting with 1 for the ground state. (see the figure)" I still don't understand the figure :( Here is...
Thread 'Understanding how to "tack on" the time wiggle factor'
The last problem I posted on QM made it into advanced homework help, that is why I am putting it here. I am sorry for any hassle imposed on the moderators by myself. Part (a) is quite easy. We get $$\sigma_1 = 2\lambda, \mathbf{v}_1 = \begin{pmatrix} 0 \\ 0 \\ 1 \end{pmatrix} \sigma_2 = \lambda, \mathbf{v}_2 = \begin{pmatrix} 1/\sqrt{2} \\ 1/\sqrt{2} \\ 0 \end{pmatrix} \sigma_3 = -\lambda, \mathbf{v}_3 = \begin{pmatrix} 1/\sqrt{2} \\ -1/\sqrt{2} \\ 0 \end{pmatrix} $$ There are two ways...
