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.
Nanochemistry is an emerging sub-discipline of the chemical and material sciences that deals with the development of new methods for creating nanoscale materials. [1] The term "nanochemistry" was first used by Ozin in 1992 as 'the uses of chemical synthesis to reproducibly afford nanomaterials from the atom "up", contrary to the nanoengineering and nanophysics approach that operates from the ...
Nanotechnology as a collective term refers to technological developments on the nanometer scale, usually 0.1-100 nm. (One nanometer equals one thousandth of a micrometer or one millionth of a millimeter.) See also Materials Science, Microtechnology

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.
As if cold and flu season wasn't already a pain, a new recall is here to add another layer of frustration. Earlier this month, Costco's Quality Assurance & Regulatory Affairs department announced ...
