Nano Engineering

Nano engineering is a practice of engineering that deals with all aspects of the design, use of engines and structures on the nanoscale. At its core, Nano engineering deals with nanomaterials and how they interact to make useful materials, structure, devices and systems. Nano engineering is not exactly a new science, but it enabling technology with application in industries from electronics, medicine, and biotechnology. While the term Nano engineering is largely used synonym for nanotechnology, the former technically focuses on the engineering aspects of the field. Other closely related terms used in this context are Nano manufacturing and nanofabrication. One possible approach to differentiate between the terms is by using the criterion of economic viability.
