Nanotechnology Explained
What is Nanotechnology?
Nanotechnology is the science that works at molecular (nano) scale at which the physical, chemical and biological properties are frequently different from what they were at larger scale. By harnessing these new properties, valuable advanced products have been developed. Nanotechnology has created revolutions in different sectors from environment, energy, transport, health and medicine.
Nanotechnology has its own aspects such as Nanomaterials, Nanostructures, Nanosynthesis, Nanofabrication, Nanocharacterization. Nanomaterials are ceramic, metal, polymeric and composite materials and their defining character is very small size in the range of 1-100nm.
The future of nanotechnology carries a great potential to improve economic and social well-being. However, it also has the potential to generate the industrial revolution. In the present world, it will affect everyone and so should be developed for everyone.
