Nanotechnology

Nanotechnology is the branch of science and engineering that deals with the manipulation, design, and application of materials and structures at the nanoscale, typically between 1 to 100 nanometers (nm). At this scale, materials often exhibit unique physical and chemical properties that differ significantly from their larger-scale counterparts. Nanotechnology encompasses a wide range of applications across various fields, including medicine, electronics, energy, and materials science. It enables advancements such as targeted drug delivery systems, stronger and lighter materials, and more efficient energy storage and conversion systems. The ability to engineer materials at the atomic or molecular level allows for innovations that can enhance existing technologies or create entirely new products and solutions.
