Nanotechnology is the science and engineering of manipulating matter at the nanoscale—typically between 1 and 100 nanometers—where the unique properties of atoms and molecules can be harnessed for innovative applications. It bridges physics, chemistry, biology, and materials science to design new structures, devices, and systems with extraordinary strength, conductivity, or reactivity. From targeted drug delivery and cancer treatments to quantum computing, advanced electronics, and renewable energy technologies, nanotechnology is transforming medicine, industry, and environmental science. By controlling matter at the smallest scale, researchers are unlocking powerful tools to shape the future of technology and human health.
