Nanoscale science and engineering also seek to discover,

describe, and manipulate those unique properties of matter at


the nanoscale in order to develop new capabilities with potential
applications across all fields of science, engineering, technology, and
medicine.
A nanomachine, also called a nanite, is a mechanical or
electromechanical device whose dimensions are measured in
nanometers (millionths of a millimeter, or units of 10 -9 meter).
Nanomachines are largely in the research-and-development phase,
but some primitive devices have been tested.
