Imagination Moves Nanotechnology into the Forefront of Current Scientific Exploration

Nanotechnology involves the shrinking of scientific substances into the nanoscale (1 nm = 10-9 m), and building substances at the atomic level to create new materials and devices, explained Beth Baumert, SCC Chemistry instructor. “It is the study and control of matter on an atomic and/or molecular scale,” she said.
