A Career as a Nanotechnologist: Exploring the World of the Small
Nanotechnology is the science, engineering, and technology conducted at the nanoscale, which is about 1 to 100 nanometers. To put that in perspective, a single human hair is about 80,000 to 100,000 nanometers wide. A nanotechnologist, therefore, is a professional who studies and manipulates matter at this incredibly small scale—the atomic and molecular level. They work across diverse fields like physics, chemistry, biology, materials science, and engineering to design, develop, and apply materials, devices, and systems with novel properties arising from their nanoscale dimensions.
