Nanoscience and nanotechnology involve studying and working with matter on the nanoscale, which is approximately 1 to 100 nanometers. A nanometer is one billionth of a meter, so nanoscale objects are too small to be seen with the naked eye. NASA defines nanotechnology as creating functional materials, devices, and systems by controlling matter at the nanoscale, which allows for properties and behaviors not seen in larger structures. The prefix "nano" comes from the Greek word for dwarf, reflecting how small nanoscale structures are compared to normal scales.

NANOTECHNOLOGY
An Introduction 1- Definition Nanoscience and Nanotechnology
The field of Nanoscience is concerned with the study
of matter on the Nano scale (10-9m), it deals with the scientific study of objects with sizes in the 1–100 nm range in at least one dimension 1- Definition Nanoscience and Nanotechnology
NASA’s definition “Nanotechnology is the creation of
functional materials, devices and systems through control of matter on the nanometer length scale (1-100 nm) 2- Scale of Nano
The prefix ‘nano’ is derived from the Greek word “nanos”
(or Latin “nanus”), meaning “Dwarf”. One nanometre (nm) is equal to one-billionth of a metre, 10–9 m. A human hair is approximately 80,000nm wide, a red blood cell approximately 7000nm wide and a sheet of paper is about 100,000 nanometers thick. Nanometer objects are too small to be seen with naked eye. 2- Scale of Nano 2- Scale of Nano 2- Scale of Nano 2- Scale of Nano 2- Scale of Nano
