Abstract :
Nanotechnology means improving the performance or production of materials, equipment and systems in dimensions of 1 to 100 nanometers. The science of nanotechnology is the study and use of very small devices and can be used in all fields of other sciences, such as chemistry, biology, physics, materials science and engineering. In fact, nanotechnology is the understanding and application of new properties of materials and systems in these dimensions that exhibit new physical effects, often influenced by the dominance of quantum properties over classical properties. Nanotechnology is a field of applied science and technology that covers a wide range of topics. The role of nanotechnology in downstream industries is more prominent due to lower costs and the presence of private industries in that area, while nanotechnology has many applications in upstream industries. In fact, nanotechnology is the understanding and application of new properties of materials and systems in these dimensions that exhibit new physical effects - mainly influenced by the dominance of quantum properties over classical properties. Nanotechnology, the manipulation of matter at the atomic and molecular scale to create materials with completely new and diverse properties, is a rapidly expanding field of research with great potential in many sectors, from healthcare to construction and electronics. Nanotechnology is a highly interdisciplinary field of 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. This article describes what nanotechnology is and some of its application areas in various industries. Given the importance of nanotechnology and the need to pay attention to it, this study, which is a review study, was conducted.
