It is also the study and manipulation of tiny objects at the dimension of molecules and atoms. Nanotechnology involves the control of materials at the nano-scale, achieving miniaturisation through atomic and molecular manufacturing techniques. The potential benefits of nanotechnology are both pervasive and revolutionary.
Nanotechnology is truly multidisciplinary.
Materials scientists, mechanical and electronic engineers, and medical researchers are teaming up with biologists, physicists and chemists. Research at the nano-scale frontier is unified by the need to share knowledge, tools and techniques, and expertise on atomic and molecular interactions. These will enable nanotechnology to progress and researchers to expand their expertise into new application fields.
