Nanotechnology definition
Nanotechnology is a new scientific
field evolving from materialspecific peculiarities of present
elements when their sizes become
nanometric (one nanometer
corresponds to the millionth part of
one millimeter).

Nanotechnology commercialization
The commercialization of
nanotechnology is dealing with
the creation and utilization of new
functional materials, devices and
systems based on novel functions
and properties of nanometric-size
elements.
