This document provides an overview of nanotechnology including its definition, tools used, market products, and potential concerns. Nanotechnology involves manipulating matter at the molecular scale of 1 to 100 nanometers. The main tools used are transmission electron microscopes, atomic force microscopes, and scanning tunneling microscopes. Popular consumer products that use nanotechnology include L'Oreal Revitalift Eye cream and Solefresh nanosilver socks. While nanotechnology promises medical advances, some particles' safety effects are unknown. Tissue engineering uses nanomaterials to reproduce or repair damaged tissue.
