Abstract
In this chapter forces that are often taken into consideration in the study of nanoscience are discussed. These are forces that can be used in the manipulation of individual nanoparticles or in the assembly of systems formed from an ordered arrangement of nanoscale features. Such interactions are very important for technological applications as well as in developing an understanding of how small particles interact with their environments.
