Nanotechnology involves engineering at the molecular scale between 1 to 100 nanometers. It is the manipulation of matter at the smallest levels and can include technologies, techniques and processes. Richard Feynman first presented ideas for nano-scale machines in 1959 and Norio Taniguchi introduced the term 'nanotechnology' in the 1980s. There are two main approaches - top-down creates nano-materials by breaking down larger ones while bottom-up assembles nano-materials atom by atom or molecule by molecule. Nanotechnology has applications in areas like chemistry, engineering, electronics, textiles, biomedical and aerospace industries. It is used for plant and animal production and health through targeted delivery of materials. Carbon nanotubes and nano
