NANOTECHNOLOGY

INTRODUCTION

Nanotechnology is defined as: the application of scientific knowledge

to manipulate and control matter at the Nano scale level to make use

of size and structure dependent properties and phenomena distinct

from those associated with individual atoms or molecules or with bulk

materials.

  The Nano scale is the size range from approximately 1nm to 100nm.

Nanotechnology exhibits a strong degree of convergence with many

other disciplines, such as the information and communications

technologies (ICT) industry.
