Nanotechnology

Nanotechnology is the knowing and control of matter at dimensions of approximately 1 to 100 nanometres, where unique facts enable new applications. “The prefix of nanotechnology derives from ‘nanos’ – the Greek word for dwarf. A nanometer is a billionth of a meter, or to put it comparatively, about 1/80,000 of the diameter of a human hair (Salib, 2008).” The nanoscale science, engineering and technology, nanotechnology involves with imaging, measuring, modeling, and manipulating matter at this nanometers length scale. Nanotechnology also engages the structure of circuits and devices from single atoms and molecules. The nanotechnology has the ability to measure which is branch of engineering. Nanotechnology is an umbrella term used to describe a diversity of techniques to fabricate materials and devices. Nanotechnology deals with microchip implants, biomedical solutions, diagnostics, drug delivery, bionics, transhumanism, artificial intelligence, robots, cyborgs (Salib, 2008).
