The Technosphere – …toward the Singularity

Technospherics

Nanotech

Nanotechnology deals with the understanding and control of matter at dimensions between approximately 1 and 100 nanometers, where unique phenomena enable novel applications.

More specifically, nanotechnology is the imaging, modeling, measuring, design, characterization, production, and application of structures, devices, and systems by controlled manipulation of size and shape at the nanometer scale (atomic, molecular, and macromolecular scale) that produces structures, devices, and systems with at least one novel/superior characteristic or property.

Nanotechnology deals with using molecules and atoms to build structures from metals and plastics to carbon nanotubes. Although this generally involves nanomechanics, it can also include artificial intelligence and machine learning. Nanotechnology is now being used in various industries for manufacturing, medicine and agriculture.
