Nano: The Essentials

Easy 10 points. What is nano science ?

I have to do an essay on nanoscience, but I can’t because I don’t have a clue what it is.
On the internet it only gives you complicated answers to what nano science actually is.
Can anyone give me a definition that I can understand ?
Thanks if you can :]
In English ?
Yer but what is it ? What does it do ?
Thanks. I think I’m starting to understand.
Discuss how reducing the size of nano particles to nano-science scale can produce new properties in a material, which may lead to new uses & give examples.
^^ Can anyone translate that to English ?

Nano technology Engineering future?

Hi, im currently in grade 12 and recently got accepted to Nano technology Engineering at waterloo, it sounds really interesting but i’m not too sure what i would do after my undergraduate degree. What jobs are offered afterwards? i think i would complete my masters after undegraduate but im just not too sure where the future of Nanotechnology Engineering lies. to be honest, i do no know too much about the program in general haha. Anyone know anything?

Nano science question ? 10 points for an answer I can understand.?

‘Discuss how reducing the size of particles to nanoscience scale can produce new properties in a material, which may lead to new use.’

Any ideas on what the question actually means & Whatt to ‘discuss’ for it, thanks if you can help!
It also says give examples ? Any ideas ?
:L Omggg!! Your amazing! A teacher or something ?

What is the difference between “Nano” and “Pico” particles?

Nanotechnology has superseded many aspects of electronic applications now-a-days. After nano-age is the pico-age coming in this field? Would you please eleborate?
