Definition of “Nanometer”:

Nanometer (nm) is a unit of length. 1 nm = 1/1,000,000,000 m. It is about 1/100,000 of the hair.

Definition of “Nanoscience and Technology”:

The research into the properties, interaction of the materials on the level of nanometer (0.1 nm to 100 nm) and the science using these properties, including nanobiology, nanochemical, nanomaterials, nanomanufactory, nanomechanics and so on.

Application of “Nanoscience and Technology”:

Nanoscience and technology is a newly developed field of 21 century. Nanoscience and technology will meet the demand of the modern science and technology----the tendency to become smaller, lighter, stronger, faster, more precise and cheaper. The influence of nanoscience and technology is more than microeletronics and informatics in 20 century. Its development will influence physics, chemical, biology, medical health, environment, energy, manufacturing and so on, and has the great potential of development. The first 20 years of 21 century is the key period of the development of nanoscience and technology. Nanoscience and technology will become the leading technology fifthly promoting social economic development.
