Nanotube

Physics; Nanotechnology

Tubes the diameter of a nanometer, formed spontaneously by atoms such as carbon. These can be excellent conductors, or excellent potential semiconductors.

Nanoplastics

Physics; Nanotechnology

Plastic resin with solid materials added to give it extra strength.

Molecular manufacturing

Physics; Nanotechnology

Creating high quality products through production from the smallest building blocks; atoms and molecules.

Buckyball

Physics; Nanotechnology

Strong molecular structures created by nanotechnology, which resemble footballs.

Nanotechnology

Physics; Nanotechnology

Research and technology to control and manipulate matter, structures and systems on an atomic or molecular scale. It refers to research at the scale of nanometers (nm).
