Nanotechnology
Nanotechnology is an interdisciplinary area of science that is focused on matter at the molecular and atomic levels. Nanotechnology deals with properties so small that even a traditional light beam microscope will not be enough to see them. The nanoscale is the term given to these miniscule objects. Through the use of nanotechnology we are able … Keep Reading → to manipulate molecules to create objects that would otherwise be impossible to make. Nanotechnology allows for creations such as carbon nanotubes which can result in materials that are much stronger and lighter than what is currently available. The ability to create objects at the molecular and atomic levels is thought to have potential for groundbreaking development in areas such as pharmaceutical drugs and delivery systems. As nanotechnology is a relatively new discipline there are concerns about the long term viability and safety.
