What is Nanotechnology
1.
A field of applied science and technology covering a broad range of topics. The main unifying theme is the control of matter on a scale smaller than one micrometer, as well as the fabrication of devices on this same length scale.
Learn more in: Technology in the Cities
2.
Field of research designed for the implementation of nanomaterials for new biological or biochemical applications.
Learn more in: Epigenetics
3.
Manipulation of matter at nanoscale.
Learn more in: Biomedical Nanotechnology: Why “Nano”?
4.
An interdisciplinary field of science that studies, creates and uses technologies in the nanometer scale.
Learn more in: Nanotechnology Safety and Security: Nanoparticles and Their Impact on the World
5.
Nanotechnology
is science, engineering, and technology conducted at the nanoscale, which is about 1 to 100 nanometers.

6.
The science of manipulating atoms and molecules to fabricate materials, devices and systems.

7.
Branch of science and technology dealing with objects at nanometre scale (1-100 nm).
Learn more in: Nanoantimicrobials: An Emerging Technological Approach in Food Preservation
8.
The technology of building structures and artifacts by manipulating individual atoms and molecules.
Learn more in: A Multi-Disciplinary Approach to Technoethics
9.
The manipulation of structures in material science on length scales smaller than 100nm.
Learn more in: Nanotechnology and Polymer Solar Cells
10.
A nascent technology broadly defined as working at scales of less than 100 nanometers (1/10,000th of a millimeter). There are a number of different approaches to
nanotechnology
, but that which informs speculation regarding the Singularity asserts the feasibility of directly assembling and disassembling molecules, and thus creating nanomachines.
Learn more in: The Digital Soul
11.
Technological study and developments that focus on materials at the nano-scale.
Learn more in: Fluid Matters: The Water Footprint of Building Materials
12.
Creation of functional materials, devices and systems through control of matter on the nanometer length scale, as well as, their exploitation.
Learn more in: The Human Centred Approach to Bionanotechnology in Telemedicine: Ethical Considerations
13.
Nanotechnology
is the synthesis, manipulation, and utilization of nanosized (1 nm = 10 -9 m) materials (atomic, molecular, and supramolecular scale) to harvest the property in terms of technological applications.
Learn more in: Characterization Tools for Nanomaterials
14.
Nanotechnology
is defined as everything when miniaturised to the sub-100 nanometre scale as having new properties regardless of its origin, source or what it is. This allows and makes nanoparticles the materials of the future where nanoscale materials can be used in various products such as chemical catalysts, anti-bacterial agents, and sunscreen applications. The smaller the particle size the ratio of surface to bulk atoms increases where at a larger scale the surface atoms are largely inconsequential but at nanoscales a particle that is almost all surface is possible where the atoms can contribute significantly to the overall properties of the material. This relationship is applicable to the electronics industry where materials such as graphene and quantum dots find application in small computers and devices for communication to great advantage.

15.
Nanotechnology
is one the most powerful engines of innovation. Science, engineering, and technology conducted at the nanoscale, which is about 1 to 100 nanometers. Nanoscience and
nanotechnology
are the study and application of extremely small things and can be used across all the other science fields, such as chemistry, biology, physics, materials science, and engineering.
