Nanotechnology - understanding of phenomena and materials at the

nanoscale in order to produce and use structures, devices, and systems
Layout by: AUSUPETRAN2020 that have promising properties and functions.
HOW IS NANOTECHNOLOGY PRODUCED?

Top-down
NANOMATERIALS
Bottom-up
Some nanomaterials can occur naturally, such as blood borne proteins essential for life and
lipids found
