Nanotechnology is the study of manipulating matter on an atomic & molecular scale. Nanoparticles range from 1 to 100nm (nanometers). A nanometer is one billionth of a meter, smaller than the wavelength of visible light . This technology is growing very rapidly & has infinite applications. Nanotechnology is a broad term that covers many areas of science, research & technology.

Nanotechnology is increasingly considered to be the future technology. The development of this technology holds out great promise for improvements in many areas of life, including treatments for diseases & great efficiency in computer data storage.

Nanotechnology affects all materials like ceramics, metals, polymers & biomaterials. The potential of Nanotechnology is huge & can lead to miniaturization in many areas. Overtime Nanotechnology should benefit every sector such as, 'Industrial, Healthcare & Environmental'.
