Welcome to Introduction to Nanotechnology. Nanotechnology is the study of the controlling of matter on an atomic and molecular scale. Generally nanotechnology deals with structures of the size 100 nanometers or smaller. There has been much debate on the future implications of nanotechnology. 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. And since one could make a weapon as easily as one could make a pencil or a bicycle, there are also

various doomsday scenarios. These concerns have led to a debate among advocacy groups and governments on whether special regulation of nanotechnology is warranted. Likewise, nanotechnology raises many of the same issues as with any introduction of new technology, including concerns about the toxicity and environmental impact of nanomaterials.
Because advanced nanotechnology could concievably make any physical thing as long as the source stock (appropriate supply of atoms) were available for construction – the only thing needed would be the design/intelligence to arrange the atoms – the cost of anything would go down drastically. This would have massive disruptive on global economics.
Thank you for visiting and supporting Introduction to Nanotechnology.com. 
We hope to cover all these issues in easy and understandable ways. This website is all about the science of the very small, with informative nanotech articles, easy to understand nanotechnology videos, and everyday conversation about this emerging field of science.

What is the difference between “nanotechnology” and “nanoscience” ?
Question by nancy: What is the difference between “nanotechnology” and “nanoscience” ?

Answer by StargazyPi
As far as I can tell, nanotechnology is the application of nanoscience, which is a much broader field. Technology implies a certain degree of mechanisation or complexity – nanoscience can just be ‘the science of really small things’.
A good example: carbon nanotubes in themselves are the subject of nanoscience – you need to be able to work on a small scale to create them. However, they have great potential as a building material as they are incredibly strong, or alternatively can be used in circuits, which I’d class as nanotechnology.
It’s a very vague difference, I’ll grant you =D

Nanotechnology: An Introduction to Nanostructuring Techniques
Expectations of a technological revolution are associated with nanotechnology, and indeed the generation, modification and utilization of objects with tiniest dimensions already permeates science and research in a way that the absence of nanotechnology is no longer conceivable. It has progressed to an independent interdisciplinary field, its great success due to the purposeful combination of physical, mechanical and molecular techniques.
