Abstract

What Is Nanoscience? What is Nanotechnology?

Think really small–smaller than anything you have ever seen through a microscope. Think atoms and molecules. Now you are at the nanoscale. Nanoscience and nanotechnology are creating new tools for clean energy, lighter and more durable materials, filters for drinking water, detection and treatment of diseases, low energy lighting, etc. Learn about the promise of nanotechnology to improve lives and contribute to economic growth.
