what is the NANOTECHNOLOGY?

Answer 1

nanotechnology is engineering that deals with the study of molecular and atomic particles, measured in nanometers (billionths of a meter or 10 to the-9 ).

Answer 2

Nano means(10 to the power -9) and technology mean tecnical
apologies or method . we trying to form thing at molecular or atomic level by using nanatecnology.
Manufactured products are made from atoms. The properties of those products depend on how those atoms are arranged. If we rearrange the atoms in coal we can make diamond. If we rearrange the atoms in sand (and add a few other trace elements) we can make computer chips. If we rearrange the atoms in dirt, water and air we can make potatoes.
Todays manufacturing methods are very crude at the molecular level. Casting, grinding, milling and even lithography move atoms in great thundering statistical herds.
the word "nanotechnology" has become very popular and is used to describe many types of research where the characteristic dimensions are less than about 1,000 nanometers.

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. Although there are very high expectations as to what nanotechnology could be able to achieve, much of the actual progress in this field has yet to meet these expectations.

Despite the apparent simplicity of this definition, nanotechnology actually encompasses a very diverse group of lines of inquiry, each taking different approaches and using different methods to progress towards different applications. Nanotechnology cuts across many disciplines, including colloidal science, chemistry, applied physics, biology, and other scientific fields. It could variously be seen as an extension of existing sciences into the nanoscale, or as a recasting of existing sciences using a newer, more modern term. Two main approaches are used in nanotechnology: one is a "bottom-up" approach where materials and devices are built from smaller (molecular) components which assemble themselves chemically using principles such as molecular recognition; the other being a "top-down" approach where they are synthesized or constructed from larger entities through an externally-controlled process.

The impetus for nanotechnology has stemmed from a renewed interest in colloidal science, coupled with a new generation of analytical tools such as the atomic force microscope (AFM) and the scanning tunneling microscope (STM). Combined with refined processes such as electron beam lithography, these instruments allow the deliberate manipulation of nanostructures, and in turn led to the observation of novel phenomena. Nanotechnology is also used as an umbrella term to describe emerging or novel technological developments associated with microscopic dimensions. Despite the great promise of numerous nanotechnologies such as quantum dots and nanotubes, real applications that have moved out of the lab and into the marketplace have mainly utilized the advantages of colloidal nanoparticles in bulk form, such as suntan lotion, cosmetics, protective coatings, and stain resistant textiles.
