Nanoengineering is the practice of engineering on the nanoscale. It derives its name from the nanometre , a unit of measurement equalling one billionth of a meter. Nanoengineering is largely a synonym for nanotechnology , but emphasizes the engineering rather than the pure science aspects of the field.
Nanotechnology is the manipulation of matter with at least one dimension sized from 1 to 100 nanometers (nm). At this scale, commonly known as the nanoscale, surface area and quantum mechanical effects become important in describing properties of matter. This definition of nanotechnology includes all types of research and technologies that deal ...
[1] Ceramic engineering – science and technology of creating objects from inorganic, non-metallic materials. Materials science – interdisciplinary field applying the properties of matter to various areas of science and engineering.
Nanobiotechnology, bionanotechnology, and nanobiology are terms that refer to the intersection of nanotechnology and biology. [1] Given that the subject is one that has only emerged very recently, bionanotechnology and nanobiotechnology serve as blanket terms for various related technologies.
Nanoelectronics refers to the use of nanotechnology in electronic components. The term covers a diverse set of devices and materials, with the common characteristic that they are so small that inter-atomic interactions and quantum mechanical properties need to be studied extensively.
