Nanotechnology

Nanotechnology is the design, production and application of structures, devices, and systems at the nanoscale (between approximately 1 and 100 nanometres).

As nanotechnology engineering evolves it will transform how scientists research and produce new materials at the molecular level. Nanotechnology has the potential to drive advancements in diverse areas such as sustainability, medicine, and robotics. For example, scientists can use nanotechnology engineering to create drugs that target specific cells in the body or build materials that grow artificial organs. Nanotechnology may also be used to improve sustainability and access to natural resources with inventions such as molecular water filtration and self-cleaning materials.
