Abstract
In this chapter, recent technologies in developing alternative materials utilizing nanotechnology are described. Here, an “alternative material” refers to the materials composed of abundant and ubiquitous elements with which replace conventional ones containing minor elements. The methods of the development of the alternative materials are focused on utilizing computational materials science, advanced nanotechnology for the fabrication, and nano-characterization technique. Further, some actual cases of recent developments will be discussed. Developments of such materials are not a dream now. In this chapter, what the alternative materials are and how humankind can develop them will be described.
