Principles of Nanotechnology

The interdisciplinary field which focuses on the manipulation and manufacturing of materials and devices on atomic, molecular and supramolecular scale, is called nanotechnology. Nanomaterials are the materials which range between 1 to 100 nm. Molecular nanotechnology is the technology that is used for designing complex structures with the help of mechanosynthesis process. Bottom-up and top-down approaches are the two main approaches used in this field. Some top-down approaches include focus...
