How is nanotechnology applied in computers?

I really want to know how is it applied in computers and what changes can it actually bring about when applied in computers. I dont mean to say how they use this technology to make computers but i heard intel has made a nano micro processor or something like that.

Nanotechnology research has focusly primarily on molecular manufacturing -- the creation of tools, materials, and machines that will eventually enable us "to snap together the fundamental building blocks of nature easily, inexpensively and in most of the ways permitted by the laws of physics." A leading nanotech scientist describes past efforts at molecular level manufacturing as attempts to assemble LEGO pieces while wearing boxing gloves. Nanotechnology, he believes, will enable us to take off the gloves and build extraordinary things.
