Nanotechnology is an umbrella term that covers many areas of science dealing with objects that are measured in nanometers. A nanometer (nm) is a billionth of a meter. Nanotechnology is sometimes even referred to as general-purpose technology, because in its mature form it will have significant impact on almost all industries and all areas of society.

The technology involves manipulation/fabrication of atoms individually and placing them in a pattern to produce the desired structure. More precisely it provides a platform to work on a nano or sub micron scale to create intelligent structures that are stronger and have fundamentally different performance-enhancing molecular/atomic organizations. Working on a nano-scale allows the building of molecular architectures that can be specifically designed to create desirable attributes.

Thus providing us with products that are lighter, stronger, smarter, safer, cheaper, cleaner and more precise.
