Nanotechnology involves the understanding and control of matter at the nanometer -scale. The so-called nanoscale deals with dimensions between approximately 1 and 100 nanometers. A nanometer is an extremely small unit of length—a billionth (10 - 9) of a meter. Just how small is a nanometer (nm)? On the nanometer-scale, materials may exhibit unusual properties. When you change the size of a particle, it can change color, for example. That’s because in nanometer-scale particles, the ... SUPPORTS OPEN ACCESS Nanotechnology encompasses the understanding of the fundamental physics, chemistry, biology and technology of nanometre-scale objects. Nanotechnology represents a revolutionary path for technological development that concerns the management of material at the nanometer scale (one billion times smaller than a meter). Nanotechnology factually means any technology on the nanoscale that has numerous applications in the real world. Nanotechnology literally encompasses the fabrication and application of chemical, physical, and biological systems at scales ranging from individual molecules or atoms to submicron dimensions, and ... Nanotechnology is the manipulation of matter with at least one dimension sized from 1 to 100 nanometers (nm) . At this scale, commonly known as the nanoscale, surface area and quantum mechanical effects become important in describing properties of matter.
