Nanotechnology has started leaving conforms of Laboratory

Nanotechnology has started leaving conforms of laboratory and conquering the new application to change our lives Nanotechnology is science engineering and technology conducted at the nanoscale which is about 1 to 100 nanometers Nanoscience and Nanotechnology are the study of extremely small things and can be used across all other science fields such as biology chemistry physics material science energy science and engineering The concept of nanotechnology was firstly given by Richard Feynman through his famous lecture entitled There is a plenty of rooms at the bottom at the American Institute of Technology The word nanotechnology was firstly introduced by Prof Norio Taniguchi of Tokyo Science University On the other hand biotechnology uses the knowledge and techniques of biology to manipulate molecular genetic and cellular processes to develop products and services and is used in diverse fields from medicine to agriculture Nanobiotechnology is considered to be the unique fusion of biotechnology and nanotechnology by which classical microtechnology can be merged to a molecular biological approach in real
