A short introduction to nanotechnology, and why you should care about it.

The video dives into materials science and advanced materials, and looks at how designing and engineering substances from the atoms they’re made of upward allows novel properties to be developed and used. It also looks at responsible innovation when it comes to grappling with the benefits as well as the health and environmental risks of nanoparticles and nanomaterials.

    The material in which atom are arranged in the order of 1 to 100nm is any one diamenssion is called nano technology…

    I use it in my English classes. I would only correct the word Behaves, cause you are speaking about AtomS. Very clear video. Thanks!
