	Nanotechnology - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Nanotechnology is a sub classification of technology in colloidal science, biology, physics, chemistry and other scientific fields and involves the study of phenomena and manipulation of material at the nanoscale, in essence an extension of existing sciences into the nanoscale.
		A unique aspect of nanotechnology is the vastly increased ratio of surface area to volume present in many nanoscale materials, which opens new possibilities in surface-based science, such as catalysis.
		Nanotechnology and nanoscience got started in the early 1980s with two major developments; the birth of cluster science and the invention of the scanning tunneling microscope (STM).

	Nanotechnology: The Size of Things to Come
		Nanotechnology deals with the creation and use of materials or devices at the level of molecules and atoms that are 1/1000th the width of a human hair--too small to be seen with a conventional laboratory microscope.
		Nanotechnology allows scientists to work on the scale of molecules to create, explore, and manipulate the biological and material worlds measured in nanometers, one-billionth of a meter.
		Some of the challenges anticipated by nanotechnology include the uncertain reaction of nanostructures within the body, and those devices or systems that may be so small that the body clears them too soon to be effective in detecting or imaging.

	Nanotechnology (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-20)
		Molecular nanotechnology is the ability to build objects to atomically exact specifications; to synthesize complex structures by using precise, mechanically controlled positioning of individual chemical building blocks.
		Real nanotechnology, in the form originally envisioned, should not be confused with the modern misuse of the term to denote nanoscale bulk manufacturing - technologies operating on a scale of tens or hundreds of nanometers which do not involve atomic-scale precision or the exact specification of molecular structures.
		Nanotechnology may or may not be the final technology, and the future may or may not lie in countless diamond specks.

	What is Nanotechnology? (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-20)
		As nanotechnology became an accepted concept, the meaning of the word shifted to encompass the simpler kinds of nanometer-scale technology.
		The power of nanotechnology can be encapsulated in an apparently simple device called a personal nanofactory that may sit on your countertop or desktop.
		Nanotechnology not only will allow making many high-quality products at very low cost, but it will allow making new nanofactories at the same low cost and at the same rapid speed.

	Nanotechnology-Science Tracer Bullet-Library of Congress
		Nanotechnology is defined in K. Eric Drexler’s Engines of Creation as a ”technology based on the manipulation of individual atoms and molecules to build structures to complex, atomic specifications.” Since nano- signifies one billionth, one nanometer is one billionth of a meter.
		Nanotechnology is concerned either with reducing the size of materials to nanometer size, or more generally, with individual atoms and molecules or groups of them.
		Nanotechnology, which is based on biology and physics, provides for the manipulation of individual atoms and molecules to produce materials with precise, predictable properties.
