BREIF DESCRIPTION
What is Nanotechnology Manufacturing? The concept behind Nanotechnology is maneuvering molecules and/or atoms to fabricate resources and formations straightforwardly, in addition to utilizing the exclusive traits of matter at the Nano scale. The definition of technology is "the application of science and scientific knowledge for industrial or commercial objectives," then in its most simplistic form, nanotechnology is defined as "the application of science and scientific knowledge, at the Nano scale, for industrial or commercial objectives." In order to understand the size of material/matter involved at the Nano scale level, one needs to trace down the units of measurement, commencing with an ant (at the mill scale) and ending at the very bottom, at the Nano scale. The Nano scale is far
