Abstract :

Nanotechnology refers to a branch of science and engineering that deals with the design, production and use of structures, devices and systems through the manipulation of atoms and molecules at the nano scale. Nanotechnology is a field of applied knowledge and technology that covers a wide range of subjects. Its main topic is the containment of matter or devices with dimensions less than one micrometer, usually around 1 to 100 nanometers. In fact, nanotechnology is the understanding and application of new properties of materials and systems in these dimensions that show new physical effects - mainly influenced by the dominance of quantum properties over classical properties. Nanotechnology, the fourth wave of the industrial revolution, is a huge phenomenon that has entered all scientific trends and is a new technology that is developing at the fastest possible speed. Nanotechnology is a highly interdisciplinary knowledge and is related to fields such as materials engineering, medicine, pharmacy and drug design, veterinary medicine, biology, applied physics, semiconductor devices, supramolecular chemistry, and even mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, chemical engineering, and agricultural engineering. . In this article, what it is and some fields of application of nanotechnology in different industries are described. Considering the importance of nanotechnology and the need to pay attention to it, this study, which is a type of review study, has been carried out. In order to collect the materials, library and internet sources as well as the reports of the Special Presidential Nanotechnology Headquarters have been used.
