Nano science and technology are not new, but they are quickly increasing fields that are causing revolutions in all sciences on the scale of what genomics and proteomics have done in the biological sciences in recent years. Nanotechnology takes use of this by using selected feature properties of this sort to some beneficial activity. Nano science is based on the idea that the properties of materials vary as a function of the physical dimension of that material. Because property dependency on physical size is often observed near to the Nano scale, around 10-9 m., the prefix ‘Nano’ is utilised.
