Nanotech

nano

nano

• refers to a unit meaning one billionth or 10 . For example, a nanometer is one billionth of a meter. Hence, “______” expresses a very tiny amount or size.

Nanoscience

Refers to the study of exceptionally small things that can be used across all other fields of science including materials science, engineering, physics, biology, and chemistry (NNI, 2017).

Nanotechnology

Refers to the science, engineering, and technology conducted at the nanoscale, which is about 1 to 100 nanometers (NNI, 2017).
