A review is provided of the recent advances and challenges in nanojoining, as compared to microjoining and even regular joining processes. Nanojoining examples are given and analyzed in various joining categories such as solidstate bonding, soldering/brazing and fusion welding. Proposed strategies for nanoassembly and nanojoining, e.g., selforganization and inkjet printing, are also highlighted.
