"Nanotechnology (sometimes shortened to "nanotech") is the manipulation
of matter on an atomic, molecular, and supramolecular scale. The
earliest, widespread description of nanotechnology referred to the
particular technological goal of precisely manipulating atoms and
molecules for fabrication of macroscale products, also now referred
to as molecular nanotechnology. A more generalized description of
nanotechnology was subsequently established by the National Nanotechnology
Initiative, which defines nanotechnology as the manipulation of
matter with at least one dimension sized from 1 to 100 nanometers.
This definition reflects the fact that quantum mechanical effects
are important at this quantum-realm scale, and so the definition
shifted from a particular technological goal to a research category
inclusive of all types of research and technologies that deal with
the special properties of matter that occur below the given size
threshold. " -
