Nanotechnology and the Environment: Report of a National Nanotechnology Initiative Workshop Held in Arlington, Virginia on 8-9 May 2003
Abstract
Nanotechnology is the creation and use of materials, devices, and systems through the control of matter on the nanometer-length scale at the level of atoms, molecules, and supramolecular structures. The essence of nanotechnology is the ability to work at these levels to generate larger structures with fundamentally new properties and molecular organization. These nanostructures, made with fundamental building blocks, are among the smallest human-made objects and exhibit novel physical, chemical, and biological properties and phenomena. Nanotechnology s goal is to exploit these properties and efficiently manufacture and employ the structures.
