Abstract
Nanotechnology involves the design, characterization, production and application of structures, devices and systems by controlling shape and size at nanometer scale (one billionth of a meter). The convergence of numerous scientific fields at the nano-scale is an exciting and rapidly progressing field of study. The applications of nanotechnology are infinite and have the potential to positively impact the lives of many, although negative effects are certain to arise and cannot be ignored.
