Mesotechnology is a term sometimes used in relation to the interface between the everyday macroscopic world, and nanotechnological devices which may be invented in the future. The difficulty stems from engineering a reliable, usable interaction between devices that operate on size scales so many orders of magnitude apart.

It may also refer to manipulating materials at a larger scale than nanotechnology but at a smaller scale than the macroscale. The prefix meso- comes from the Greek word mesos, meaning middle.

Mesotechnology describes a budding research field which could replace nanotechnology in the future as the primary means to control matter at length scales ranging from a cluster of atoms to microscopic elements. The prefix meso- comes from the Greek word mesos, meaning middle, hence the technology spans a range of length scales as opposed to nanotechnology which is concerned only with the smallest atomic scales.
