Nanotechnology involves engineering and manipulating matter at the molecular level, between 1 to 100 nanometers. It allows materials to be created at the nano-scale to attain properties different than their normal size. Richard Feynman first presented ideas for nano-scale machines in 1959. Nanotechnology is now used in a wide range of applications including medicine, agriculture, electronics, data storage, energy, the environment, food, and military uses. It allows materials to be assembled atom-by-atom to develop better and more useful properties.

Nanotechnology…? • Nanotechnology is engineering at the molecular (groups of atoms) level. • It is the collective term for a range of technologies, techniques and processes that involve the manipulation of matter at the smallest scale (from 1 to 100 nm) SIZE AND SCALE Where it all began In 1980’ s, development in this field was greatly enhanced with advances in electron microscopybyGerdBinnigandHeinrichRohrer aftertheyinventedthescanningtunneling microscope(STM).
