Nanotechnology

Size of the Nanoscale:

One nanometer is a billionth of a meter.

What Is Nanotechnology:

Nanotechnology is understanding and control of matter at dimensions between approximately 1 and 100 nanometers which is called the nanoscale. unique phenomena at this scale enable novel applications. nanotechnology involves imaging, measuring, modeling, and manipulating matter at this length scale.

Nanoscale materials are found in nature:

For instance, hemoglobin, the oxygen-transporting protein found in red blood cells, is 5.5 nanometers in diameter. Naturally occurring nanomaterials exist all around us, such as in smoke from fire, volcanic ash, and sea spray. Some nanomaterials are a byproduct of human activity, such as bus and automobile exhaust and welding fumes.

The idea and concept behind nanoscience and nanotechnology was started with a talk by physicist Richard Feynman in1959, long before the term nanotechnology was used. Feynman lecture entitled “There’s Plenty of Room at the Bottom”
