{{Short description|1=Overview of and topical guide to nanotechnology}}{{Nanotech}}The following outline is provided as an overview of and topical guide to nanotechnology: Nanotechnology is science, engineering, and technology conducted at the nanoscale, which is about 1 to 100 nanometers. {{TOC limit|limit=2}} Branches of nanotechnology - Green nanotechnology – use of nanotechnology to enhance the environmental-sustainability of processes currently producing negative externalities. It also refers to the use of the products of nanotechnology to enhance sustainability.
- Nanoengineering – practice of engineering on the nanoscale.
- Wet nanotechnology – involves working up to large masses from small ones.
Multi-disciplinary fields that include nanotechnology - Nanobiotechnology – intersection of nanotechnology and biology.[1]
- Ceramic engineering – science and technology of creating objects from inorganic, non-metallic materials.
- Materials science – interdisciplinary field applying the properties of matter to various areas of science and engineering. It investigates the relationship between the structure of materials at atomic or molecular scales and their macroscopic properties.
- Nanoarchitectonics – arranging nanoscale structural units, which are usually a group of atoms or molecules, in an intended configuration.
- Molecular engineering
Contributing fields Nanoscience - Nanoelectronics – use of nanotechnology on electronic components, including transistors so small that inter-atomic interactions and quantum mechanical properties need to be studied extensively.
- Nanomechanics – branch of nanoscience studying fundamental mechanical (elastic, thermal and kinetic) properties of physical systems at the nanometer scale.
- Nanophotonics – study of the behavior of light on the nanometer scale.
