Introduction to Nanotechnology
What is Nanotechnology
the study of the controlling of matter on an atomic and molecular scale. Generally nanotechnology deals with structures sized between 1 to 100 nanometer in at least one dimension, and involves developing or modifying materials or devices within that size.
Nanotechnology
is already making today’s products: Lighter Stronger Faster Smaller More Durable
How small is Nano - small?
Units in nanometers (µm)
Compared to Human Hair
A Human Hair is about 100,000µm wide
