Nanotechnology is the science of manipulating matter at a microscopic level. Controlling stuff at the atomic level is what it’s all about. Nanotechnology is defined as structures or substances with a diameter of one hundred nanometers or less. Metals, polymers, ceramics, and biomaterials all utilize nanotechnology products.
Many technology and industry sectors are benefiting from nanotechnology, including information technology, public safety, healthcare, infrastructure, energy, food security, and environmental science, to name a few.
