Nanotechnology happens in many fields of science. Nano-tech is anything having to do with the development of organic or inorganic devices and materials, including self-assembling molecular "machines" 100 nanometers or smaller in size.
A nanometer is a unit of measurement (abbreviated nm) equal to one billionth of a meter. The term millimicron (symbol mµ), is now considered out of date, but it may still be found in scientific papers.
Consider structures that are only 1/1000th the width of a human hair and smaller, to begin visualizing or imagining the scale of the nano-realms.
Like other science and technology lenses, this lens is intended to be an overview, a learning center and an outline. It is here to be a general future reference for my self-education and science .
A new technology forces nanoparticles to clump into sewage sludge instead of flowing into aquatic environments.
A single pentacene molecule has been imaged in vivid detail, with even its individual chemical bonds visible - amazing!
