Knowing Nanotechnology

Posted in: Nano

Nanotechnology is the science and technology of small things – in particular things that are less than 100nm in size. One nanometer is 10-9 meters or about 3 atoms long. For comparison, a human hair is about 60-80,000 nanometers wide.
Scientists have discovered that materials at small dimensions—small particles, thin films, etc- can [...]

Despite unprecedented government funding and public interest in nanotechnology, few can accurately define the scope, range or potential applications of this technology. One of the most pressing issues facing nanoscientists and technologists today is that of communicating with the non-scientific community. As a result of decades of speculation, a number of myths have grown up [...]
