Nanotechnology

Nanotechnology is the branch of science and engineering that deals with the manipulation and application of materials at the nanoscale, which typically refers to dimensions between 1 and 100 nanometers. At this scale, materials often exhibit unique physical and chemical properties that differ significantly from their larger-scale counterparts. This field encompasses various disciplines, including physics, chemistry, biology, and materials science, and it is used to create innovative solutions in diverse areas such as medicine, electronics, energy, and environmental science. Nanotechnology enables the development of new materials and devices with enhanced functionalities, including improved drug delivery systems, stronger and lighter materials, and more efficient energy harvesting processes.
