Nanotechnology is a field of research and innovation concerned with building 'things' - generally, materials and devices - on the scale of atoms and molecules. A nanometre is one-billionth of a metre: ten times the diameter of a hydrogen atom.
Material scientists learn about the history of a material and its processing influences, its structure and properties by analysing it down to its atomic structure and possible uses. It's a combination of metallurgy, ceramics, solid-state physics and chemistry.
Nanotechnology engineering, otherwise known as nanoengineering, is a highly specialised and promising field of engineering...
