Nanotechnology: ripple effect of atoms

Greatness does not come from size. Surprises come in small packages. Nanoscale though small in size has vast potential. One nanometer is 1 billionth or 〖10〗^(-9) meter^.The comparative size of a nanometer to a meter is the same as the size of a marble to the size of the earth. The basic idea of nanotechnology is to employ individual atoms and molecules to construct functional structures. Nanotechnology influences almost every facet of everyday life. The concept of nanotechnology is that when one goes down to the bottom of things, one can discover unlimited possibilities and potential of the basic particle. In nanotechnology, analysis can be made to the level of manipulating atoms, molecules and chemical bonds between them.
