Abstract: Nanotechnology is the manipulation of matter on an atomic and molecular scale inclusive of all types of research and technologies that deal with the special properties of matter that occur below the given size thresold(1-100 nm).Nanotechnology is very board, including fields of science as diverse as surface science, organic-inorganic chemistry, molecular biology, semiconductor physics, micro fabrication, etc. The term nanotechnology was coined in 1974 by Prof. Norio L Anguichi at the Tokya Science University.Broadly,there are three main divisions in Nanotechnology: Nanometers,Nano electronics and Nano-biotechnology.
