Generally nanotechnology deals with structures sized between 1 to 100 nanometer in at least one dimension, and involves developing materials or devices within that size range. This branch of technology deals with dimensions and tolerances of less than 100 nanometers, especially the manipulation of individual atoms and molecules.

Particles exhibit novel physical properties as their size approaches nano meter scale dimensions. Nanotechnology is focused on research of this nano sized particles to exploit the advance characteristics shown by various materials. The application of nanotechnology can be applied to various areas for overcoming disease conditions. Extensive research is going on in this field in the world. Solutions for various areas – devices / materials / nano tech based solutions are being developed. The future holds tremendous potential for this technology.
