A definition of Nanotechnology
the technology of structuring and controlling
matter on the scale of approx. 100 nm or
below Size/scale give rise to new properties
Quantum effects, New physical ratios /
relationships and building systems based on new
properties nanoscale engineering Short term
projects mainly focusing on (bulk) nano
materials, smart materials, stronger and/or
protective clothing, lightweight radar-resistant
nano composites, coatings, catalysts. Also
applications in chemical, biological,
radiological and nuclear sensors.
