Intro to Nanotech World

I (siddhartha saggar) had prepared this video to display it on the stall for our School of Nanoscience (NIT Calicut, INDIA) during our college’s technical fest… However I believe the video might help all those in the world wanting to know about the Nanotechnology… (I am not the owner of any of the songs, clips, pictures used in the video)

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
