Nanotechnology and Its Purpose The US Government’s National Nanotechnology Initiative defines nanotechnology as “the understanding and control of matter at dimensions of roughly 1 to 100 nanometres, where unique phenomena enable novel applications.” A nanometre is a millionth of a millimetre - to bring that scale into context, a nanometre is the amount a man's beard grows in the time it takes him to raise the razor to his face. Nanotechnology refers to a field of applied science and technology
In recent years, researchers around the world have been showing an increasing interest in the area of nanoscience. Nanotechnology is the research and development of materials, systems, and devices with properties different from those found on the scale of molecules and viruses (Patil et al). A branch of nanotechnology, called nanomedicine, holds strong promise of future medical advances in the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of diseases (Patil et al). Nanomedicine is a science and technology
Nanotechnology is the study of extremely small things and is used in the fields of chemistry, biology, physics, materials science, and engineering. Nanotechnology is measured on what is called a nanoscale, also known as a nanometer which is one billionth of a meter. The important 3 steps of nanotechnology are “small size, measured in 100s of nanometers or less, unique properties because of the small size, and control the structure and composition on the nm scale in order to control the properties
WHAT IS NANOTECHNOLOGY “Nanotechnology is science, engineering, and technology conducted at a nanoscale which is about 1 to 100 nanometers,” according to the National Nanotechnology Initiative. A nanometer is a billionth of a meter, there are 25,400,000 nanometers in an inch and a sheet of newspaper is about 100,000 nanometers thick. Putting that into perspective, if a marble were a nanometer, a meter would be the size of the Earth. Nanotechnology can be used throughout all fields of science, including
