An Overview of Nanotechnology
The term nanotechnology is associated with the dimension of nanomaterials and nanoparticles where the characteristics and structure of such materials are studied at the atomic scale. The development in nanotechnology engineering has enabled us to look at materials from a different perspective that are being used to improve many of our existing technologies in healthcare, medicine, and electronics.
What is Nanotechnology?
Nanotechnology is defined as the manipulation of nanomaterials to utilize them to improve the way we look at and implement them. Nanotechnology deals with materials of dimension and size less than a nanometer. It has applications in a broad range of medical sciences and engineering. The term nanotechnology is new however, we have been using nano-sized particles in our past technology, devices, and structures.
