What is Nanotechnology? A Introductory Video by National Institutes of Health (NIH)
Nanotechnology is defined as the understanding and control of matter at dimensions
of roughly 1 to 100 nanometers, a scale at which unique properties of materials
emerge that can be used to develop novel technologies and products. At the nanoscale,
the physical, chemical, and biological properties of materials differ from the
properties of matter either at smaller scales, such as atoms, or at larger scales
that we use in everyday life such as millimeters or inches. Nanotechnology involves
imaging, measuring, modeling, and manipulating matter only a few nanometers
in size.
