Nanotechnology
“The design, characterization, production
and application of structures, devices and
systems by controlling shape and size at
nanometer scales” (~ 10-9 meter).
OR
Research and technology development at
the atomic, molecular or macromolecular
levels, in the length scale of approximately
1 - 100 nanometer range.
Biotechnology
Biotechnology is the integration of
natural sciences and engineering in
order to achieve the applications of
organisms, cells, part there of and
molecular analogue for productions
and services.
Nanobiotechnology
Applies the tools and processes of
nanofabrication to build devices for
studying biosystems or biomaterials.
