Nano Technology

Nano technology is a latest trend in technologies.It has been demonstrated that nano scale materials exhibit properties which are vastly different from their bulk counterparts. Nanotechnology is the study of understanding and controlling matter on molecular scale. Generally, nanotechnology deals with dimensions of 100 nano meters or smaller in at least one dimension, and involves developing materials or devices within that size. Nanotechnology is very diverse, ranging from extensions of conventional device physics to completely new approaches based upon molecular self assembly, from developing new materials with dimensions on the nano scale to assembling matter on an atomic scale with the ultimate objective of fabricating devices with such assemblers.

Nanotechnology has the potential to create many new materials and devices with a vast range of applications, such as in medicine, electronics and energy production. On the other hand, nanotechnology raises many of the same work as with any introduction of new technology, including concerns about the toxicity and environmental impact of nano materials and their potential effects on global economics as well as speculation about various technologies.
