Nanotechnology and Nanoengineering
Nanotechnology and Nanoengineering are closely related fields that involve the study and manipulation of matter on the nanoscale, which is typically defined as being between 1 and 100 nanometers.
Nanotechnology involves the use of nanoscale materials and structures for a wide range of applications, including medicine, electronics, and energy. It involves the development, design, and fabrication of materials, devices, and systems with novel properties that arise from their nanoscale dimensions.
Nanoengineering, on the other hand, is the application of engineering principles to the design and development of nanoscale materials and devices. This includes the design of new materials, devices, and systems with tailored properties and functionalities at the nanoscale.
Both Nanotechnology and Nanoengineering involve interdisciplinary approaches, combining knowledge from fields such as physics, chemistry, biology, and engineering. The field is constantly evolving, with new materials, devices, and applications being developed and discovered regularly.
