nanotechnology
the manipulation and manufacture of materials and devices on the scale of atoms or small groups of atoms. The “nanoscale” is typically measured in nanometres, or billionths of a metre (nanos, the Greek word for “dwarf,” being the source of the prefix), and materials built at this scale often exhibit distinctive physical and chemical properties due to quantum mechanical effects. Although usable devices this small may be decades away, techniques for working at the nanoscale have become essential to electronic engineering, and nanoengineered materials have begun to appear in consumer products. For example, billions of microscopic “nanowhiskers,” each about 10 nanometres in length, have been molecularly hooked onto natural and synthetic fibres to impart stain resistance to clothing and other fabrics; zinc oxide nanocrystals have been used to create invisible sunscreens that block ultraviolet light; and silver nanocrystals have been embedded in bandages to kill bacteria and prevent infection.

Yes. You spelled it wrong. nanotechnology.
It is the science of the very small, at the atomic or near atomic level. At this level quantum mechanics comes into play.
At our level we are used to seeing the behaviors of very large numbers of particles or atoms.
At that level, you are dealing with single particles or atoms, and their behavior follows very different rules.

Like the Schrodinger equation.

Yeah... there is no 'k' in it. Try an 'h'.
