Introduction

Nanotechnology is a set of multidisciplinary techniques that are used to manipulate matter at the level of atoms and molecules. It encompasses those fields of science and technology in which materials, substances and devices of small dimensions are studied, handled and obtained in a controlled manner.

The prefix nano refers to one billionth of a meter Nanotechnology (term coined in 1974 by the Japanese Taniguchi Norio; the prefix "nano" derives from the Greek "nannos", which means dwarf). Nanotechnology works on a nano-scale, atom by atom or molecule by molecule, that is, at the same scale at which nature works, which allows scientists to trap and place atoms and molecules in certain positions and manufacture artifacts.

To understand the potential of this technology, it is essential to know that the physical and chemical properties of matter change on a nanometric scale:

Nanotechnology is applied in different fields, among which are:

  • The materials.
  • The electronic.
  • Biomedicine
  • Energy.
  • Materials with a much greater hardness and resistance.
  • Computers much faster and of greater capacity.
  • More effective medical investigations and diagnoses with a faster response capacity to treat new diseases.
  • Coatings to improve imaging techniques.
  • Giant magnetoresistance systems for magnetic storage of information. Science in HD / Unsplash
