Overview

Nanotechnology is the design, synthesis, characterisation, and application of materials, structures, and devices with dimensions on the nanometre scale, typically from about one to one hundred nanometres. At this scale, materials often display physical, chemical, and biological properties that differ markedly from their bulk counterparts, arising from quantum effects and from the very high ratio of surface area to volume, which can be exploited to create functional systems with tailored behaviour. The field spans chemistry, physics, materials science, engineering, and biology, and includes nanoparticles, nanofluids, nanostructured surfaces, and nanoscale carriers. In medicine and biology, nanomaterials are applied to drug and gene delivery, diagnostics, cell-based therapies, and the preservation of biological products such as red blood cells, and they enable advanced immunotherapeutic strategies in which engineered nanostructures support cell technologies. Nanomedicine also intersects with traditional preparations, as in the study of the nanoscale features of certain metallic formulations. Beyond biomedicine, nanofluids and nanoscale phenomena influence heat and mass transfer in engineering flows, illustrating the breadth of the field's reach. By manipulating matter atom by atom and molecule by molecule, nanotechnology aims to produce materials and devices with enhanced strength, reactivity, optical, electronic, or transport properties. Its development raises distinctive considerations of behaviour, characterisation, and safety, given how profoundly scale alters material function.
