Nanotechnology

The Nanotechnology topic includes research on the understanding and control of matter at the nanoscale (at dimensions between approximately 1 and 100 nanometers), where unique phenomena enable novel applications. This research encompasses nanoscale science, engineering, and technology that involves imaging, measuring, modeling, and manipulating matter at the nanometer length scale. Working at the nanoscale enables scientists to understand and utilize the unique physical, chemical, and optical properties of materials that occur at this scale.
