WHAT IS NANOTECHNOLOGY? 

 

 Nanotechnology is science, science, engineering, engineering, and technology conducted conducted at the nanoscale, nanoscale, which is about 1 to 100 nanometers.

Physicist Richard Feynman, the father of nanotechnology .  Nanoscience and nanotechnology are the study and application of extremely small things and can be used across all the other science fields, such as chemistry, biology, physics, materials science, and engineering.

 



1. U.S National Nanotechnology Initiative



  The best-known and most-funded program is the National Nanotechnology Initiative of the United States. The NNI was established in 2001 to coordinate U.S federal Nanotechnology R&D. The NNI budget in 2008 and 2009 were $1.4 billion and $1.5 billion, respectively.
