What is Nano Technology?

Print
Nanotechnology is the engineering of tiny machines using techniques and tools developed today to make complete, highly advanced products. It is technological development on the nanometer scale. A nanometer is equivalent to one millionth of a millimeter. This technology exploits phenomena and structures that can only occur at the nanometer scale; the scale of several atoms and small molecules. Nanotechnology is based on the fact that the properties of materials become different when their size approaches that of a few hundreds or tens of atom in the organic compounds.
