What is Nanotechnology?
Go to TechTV to download cool nanotechnology simulations.
Dave Roos of Tech TV states, "Nanotechnology is science on an incredibly small scale. A nanometer, by definition, is one-billionth of a meter. To give you some perspective, an object that is 10 nanometers wide is still 1,000 times smaller than the diameter of a single human hair.
Nanotechnology is the creation of functional devices and materials with a length no greater than 100 nanometers. In essence, the goal of nanotechnology is to build microscopic machines with molecular gears that perform useful, real-world tasks. Download these computer simulations of nanogears in action, courtesy of NASA. The teeth of each gear are single benzyne molecules."
