NanoChemistry and Wet Nanotechnology

Nanochemistry is a fast emerging branch of chemistry, particularly solid-state chemistry, that focuses on the development of useful materials with nanometer-scale dimension. It's a relatively young discipline of chemistry and materials science that focuses on finding new techniques to make nanoscale materials. Electronics and nanodevices and systems, composite materials, biotechnology and medicine, and even the textile industry have all been investigated using these materials.

Wet nanotechnology needs water because that is where the process takes place. Additionally, chemists and biologists are involved in the process as they attempt to combine separate molecules to create greater scales. Although Eric Drexler, proposed the idea of dry nano-assemblers, wet nanotech seems to be the most likely initial field where anything like a nano-assembler may be successful economically. Wet engineering as opposed to dry engineering, is what wet nanotechnology is. These two subfields of engineering have their own disciplines. From the perspective of nanotechnology, biologists work with wet engineering. The majority of the activities they investigate occur in aquatic environments since they are processes that occur in living things. Water makes up the majority of our bodies.
