Nano technology is the manipulation of matter on an atomic, molecular and supramolecular scale to create new structures with new properties.
The main aim of nanotechnology is said to be a precise manipulation of atoms and molecules for fabrication of macroscale products for purpose in scientific research and fields of medicine, biology, chemistry, physics, electronics and so on.  National Nanotechnology Initiative defines nanotechnology as the manipulation of matter with at least one dimension sized from 1 to 100 nanometers.  Even though the idea of nanotechnology was propagated in the fifties by Richard Feyman, it was taken on and blossomed only twenty years ago.  Products based on nanotech can be found today all around us as protection against stains, protection for glasses, medicine, electronics and computer world and so on.

Word ”Nano” means something very small, minute, originating from Latin – nanus,  Greek – nanos both meaning ”dwarf”.   In terms of units of measure, Nano (symbol n) is a unit prefix meaning one billionth.  

The importance of nanotechnology

It is evident that a lot of effort time and financing is being given to further development of nanotechnology on a global scale.  Every four years the amount of money spent accross the world for nano tech research is doubled up, only proving that the most powerfull and renowned world institutions are investing in it.  European Union likewise is part of this worldwide involvement in nanotech and is planning to take lead in this fast growing industry by encouragement of financing this industry and creating and developing new products in the field. The potential of nanotechnology in evryday life is priceless.  However in many cases the price of  products based on nano technology is so high that it prevents the use of the industry to the full spectrum.  Our aim and vision is to ensure this will not be the case with our products, but to have Nanotechnology available to all and everyone.
