What is Nanotechnology?

• Nanotechnology is science, engineering, and technology conducted at the


nanoscale, which is about 1 to 100 nanometers
• Imagination of just how small nanotechnology is:
One nanometre is a billionth of a meter or 10-9 of a meter
• Nanotechnology: Engineering at the molecular level
• Manipulate individual atoms and molecules
• Improve the functionality of certain products
• Produce materials with enhanced properties,
• Higher strength, lighter weight, higher durability with less physical mass, Increased control of light spectrum
• Create many new materials and devices with a vast range of applications
• Ex: Medicine, electronics, biomaterials, and energy production
