Nanotechnology

Nanotechnology refers to the manipulation and control of matter on a nanometer scale, typically between 1 and 100 nanometers. At this scale, materials can exhibit unique physical, chemical, and biological properties that differ from their bulk counterparts. The technology allows scientists and engineers to design, produce, and utilize structures, devices, and systems with novel functions. Applications of nanotechnology span across various fields, including medicine, electronics, energy, and environmental science. In medicine, for example, nanoparticles are used for drug delivery systems that target specific cells, minimizing side effects. In electronics, nanomaterials enable the creation of faster, smaller, and more efficient devices. As a transformative technology, nanotechnology continues to push the boundaries of innovation, offering solutions to global challenges in sustainability and health.
