Nanotechnology is a broad field of applied science and technology focused on controlling and exploiting the structure of matter on a scale below 100 nanometers.[1] Nanotechnology has as its goal the realization of novel materials and devices with features on the nanoscale, drawing from fields such as colloidal science, device physics, and supramolecular chemistry. Much speculation exists as to what new technologies might be invented based upon these lines of research, and what the implications for society might be if these become commonplace.

FDA Nanotechnology Task Force
The US Food and Drug Administration regulates a wide range of products, including foods, cosmetics, drugs, devices, and veterinary products, some of which may utilize nanotechnology or contain nanomaterials. The FDA has not established its own formal definition, though the agency participated in the development of the NNI definition of "nanotechnology." Using that definition, nanotechnology relevant to the FDA might include research and technology development that both satisfies the NNI definition and relates to a product regulated by FDA.
With the advent of nanotechnology, the regulation of many products will involve more than one Center, for example a "drug" delivery "device". In these cases the assignment of regulatory lead is the responsibility of the Office of Combination Products. To facilitate the regulation of nanotechnology products, the Agency has formed a NanoTechnology Interest Group (NTIG), which is made up of representatives from all the Centers. The NTIG meets quarterly to ensure there is effective communication between the Centers. Most of the Centers also have working groups that establish the network between their different components. There are also a wide range of products involving nanotechnologies, which are regulated by other federal agencies. The breadth of products regulated by FDA and the other agencies is shown in below.

nano means 10^-9 m. (10 to the power of minus 9). nanotechnology is an study of science that deals with particles of much smaller size,even less than microns.

Nanotechnology is based on the shortest units of Time (Nanosecond)
1 Nanosecond = 1/3600 secs
The microtech that is executed within a nanosecond is known as Nanotechnology. It is used in Computers at the Chip level
