Nanotechnology is the manipulation of Nanotechnology is the manipulation of materials, devices and systems on the materials, devices and systems on the nanometer length scale. nanometer length scale.
One nanometer is a billionth of a meter (about One nanometer is a billionth of a meter (about 10 times the diameter of the hydrogen atom) 10 times the diameter of the hydrogen atom) At the At the nanoscale nanoscale different laws of physics come different laws of physics come into play into play
