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.

02/18/2025 - 9:52 PMThe material in which atom are arranged in the order of 1 to 100nm is any one diamenssion is called nano technology…
@ak47lds
02/18/2025 - 9:52 PMFun fact: Nanotechnology always existed, our human bodies and brains contain nano technology.

02/18/2025 - 9:52 PMSo anybody wanna build iron mans suit to destroy there science teacher?
@htech_agen
02/18/2025 - 9:52 PMI knew about nano tech before iron man but i think it was on another movie
@greatvera1
02/18/2025 - 9:52 PMI use it in my English classes. I would only correct the word Behaves, cause you are speaking about AtomS. Very clear video. Thanks!

02/18/2025 - 9:52 PMthis is a crime against humanity
@chickenman-kf5qs
02/18/2025 - 9:52 PMNow that makes me wonder: Should I use it in an iron costume to be a superhero, or use it to be strong as f*ck as a senator who is about to fight some armored dude?
@ronaldocura6056
02/18/2025 - 9:52 PMWe boutta become iron man after this 🔥😎

02/18/2025 - 9:52 PMYou're not God, why are you playing God? That's gonna strike your a** down. And you're not going to have a new discussion. Maggots nanotechnology, focusing on the brain, so you can control human beings. You people are sick scientists you freaks

02/18/2025 - 9:52 PMI had a question tho because im pretty confused. If somebody wanted to like create a harry potter wand that shoots electricity could nanotech even do dat?
@IAmAlpharius20
02/18/2025 - 9:52 PMCan it harden in response to physical trauma?
