Nanoscience" is the study of phenomena and the manipulation of materials on the atomic, molecular and macromolecular scales, where properties differ significantly from those on a larger scale, while "nanotechnology" covers everything to do with the design, characterization, production and application of structures, devices and systems by controlling shape and size on the nanometric scale . Nanotechnology is a field of applied research. The applications concerned have major economic potential in many fields, including medicine, chemistry, energy, resource management and the environment. As a result, the nanotechnology market is set to expand over the coming years. However,...
