Nanotechnology is the manipulation of matter at the atomic and molecular scale. It involves the creation and use of structures, devices, and systems that have dimensions of approximately 1 to 100 nanometers.

While nanotechnology has potential applications in various fields, space exploration is not typically considered a direct application area for nanotechnology.

Self-assembly is the ability of nanomaterials to organize themselves into complex structures without external guidance. This property is crucial for the development of nanodevices and nanomaterials with specific functions.

A molecular assembler is a hypothetical device that could manipulate individual atoms and molecules to create complex structures. It is a key concept in nanotechnology and molecular manufacturing.

While nanotechnology poses potential risks in terms of environmental impact, health and safety, and ethical considerations, economic inequality is not directly related to nanotechnology.

Nanotoxicology is the study of the interactions between nanomaterials and biological systems, including their potential toxicity and effects on human health and the environment.

While nanotechnology offers potential benefits in targeted drug delivery, disease diagnosis, and tissue engineering, genetic modification is not typically considered a direct application of nanotechnology in medicine.

Nanomaterials are materials that have at least one dimension in the nanometer range (1 to 100 nanometers). They often exhibit unique properties due to their small size and quantum effects.
