Application of Nanotechnology in Science and Technology: A Scientific Review

Abstract

Nanotechnology is the branch of science that studies the technology of arranging the molecules or atoms of a substance at the nanometer level. "Nano" is a Greek word meaning "small" or "dwarf". A nano means 10−9 m i.e. one billionth part of a meter. Within nanotechnology, objects of size 100 nanometers or less are studied. Nanotechnology can create many new materials and devices with a vast range of applications. Nanotechnology can be used in all science and technology fields, such as chemistry, biology, physics, medical science, materials science, engineering, etc.
