The study and engineering of materials and devices at extremely small scales, in the region of 1 to 100 nanometers.

The study and engineering of materials and devices at extremely small scales in the region of 1 to 100 nanometers. At this very small scale, materials can take on radically different properties, which can be exploited for use in industry. Nanotechnology is already used in many applications, from cosmetics to medicines to computers.
