What’s a Nano?
Nano means one billionth

1,000,000,000
A nanometer is one billionth of a meter.

The Nanoscale involves the range from

approximately 100 nm to 1 nm.

National Nanotechnology Initiative
Definition of Nanotechnology
While many definitions for nanotechnology exist, the NNI calls
it "nanotechnology" only if it involves all of the following:

1. Research and technology development at the atomic,

molecular or macromolecular levels, in the length scale of
approximately 1 - 100 nanometer range.

2. Creating and using structures, devices and systems that

have novel properties and functions because of their small
and/or intermediate size.

3. Ability to control or manipulate on the atomic scale.
