2.  the branch of technology that deals with
dimensions and tolerances of less than 100
nanometres, especially the manipulation of
individual atoms and molecules.
 It can be applied in a building in terms of
materials like concrete, steel, photovoltaic,
etc.
 Advantages : increases durability,
functionality, less weight, cost and size
reduction, sustainable, easily produced and
stronger

3.  What is nano concrete?
• A concrete made with portland cement particles
that are less than 500nm as a cementing agent.
• Currently cement particle sizes range from a
few nano-meters to a maximum of about100
micro meters.
