Nanotechnology is the science and engineering of manipulating matter at the nanometer scale, typically ranging from 1 to 100 nanometers. At this scale, materials exhibit unique physical and chemical properties distinct from their bulk counterparts, leading to new applications in various fields. Nanotechnology encompasses the design, production, and application of structures, devices, and systems through control of shape and size at the nanoscale. It spans a wide range of disciplines, including physics, chemistry, biology, and engineering, and is used in various industries such as medicine, electronics, energy, and materials science. By enabling innovations such as targeted drug delivery, improved battery technologies, and advanced materials with enhanced strength or lighter weight, nanotechnology has the potential to revolutionize many aspects of everyday life.
