Nanotechnology has reached a level of maturity that allows them to take advantage of the computer-aided design. The inverse problem methodologies can help to achieve this by exceeding the simple explanation of phenomena and the direct optimization of devices. The only condition is that the scientific community takes ownership of these methods and considers them to be effective development tools.
