WHAT IS NANO TECHNOLOGY ?

Nanotechnology is science, engineering, and technology conducted at the nano scale, which is about 1 to 100 nano meters.

 One nano meter is a billionth of a meter, or 10^-9 of a meter. Here are a few illustrative examples:

• There are 25,400,000 nano meters in an inch
• A sheet of newspaper is about 100,000 nano meters thick

NANO TECHNOLOGY /PHYSICS MATERIALS

Molecular nanotechnology : is a technology based on the ability to build structures to complex, atomic specifications by mean of This is distinct from nano scale materials .

One of the most important applications of M.N.T. would be medical nano robotics or nano medicine, an area pioneered by RobertFreitas in numerous books and papers. The ability to design, build, and deploy large numbers of medical nano robots would, at a minimum, make possible the rapid elimination of disease and the reliable and relatively painless recovery from physical trauma. Medical nano robots might also make possible the convenient correction of genetic defects, and help to ensure a greatly expanded lifespan.
