What is Nanotechnology?

Nanotechnology, aka molecular manufacturing, is a field of engineering dedicated to the study of the world so small, we can’t even see. It is a new study of atoms and other little particles around us. In order to understand the weird field of nanotechnology, we say: A nanometer (nm) is one-billionth of a meter, smaller than the wavelength of visible light and a hundred-thousandth the width of a human hair.

Nature itself has perfected the act of molecular manufacturing. For example, our bodies are made of billions of cells and as such can be referred to nature’s nanomachines. Nanotechnology seeks to help us understand how to design and create devices at the molecular level of matter. Been able to understand the field can be of great importance to the survival of human race in the future as predicted by renowned scientists. It can help reproduce things like gold, food and cure diseases like cancer.
