Wonders Of Nano Technology And Techniques

The term ‘nanotechnology’ encompasses a huge range of activities. 'Nano’ is used in the world of science to mean one billionth. E.g. a nanometer is a billionth of a metre. A nanometer is only ten atoms across! So generally nanotechnology is used to mean technology at the nanometer level. Nanotechnology attempts to achieve something useful through the manipulation of matter at this level.To put it more formally, the Royal Society use the following definition: “Nanotechnologies are the design, characterization, production and application of structures, devices and systems by controlling shape and size at nanometer scale.”
