Abstract

Nanotechnology has emerged as one of the key scientific initiatives of the early 21st century. Scientists take advantage of the distinctive features of atomic and molecular assemblages constructed at the nanometer scale. In order to gather the necessary collective expertise needed to develop these revolutionary technologies, classical sciences such as chemistry, physics, materials science, biology including genomics are brought together in the field of nanotechnology. Systems and materials related to nanotechnology have parts and structures which are due to their nanoscale size, exhibit innovative, greatly improved chemical, physical, and biological properties, processes and phenomena. In a variety of sectors, including tissue engineering, drug delivery systems and physiology, nanotechnology and nanoengineering have the potential to significantly enhance science and technology.
