nanotechnologyn.

Brit.

/ˌnanə(ʊ)tɛkˈnɒlədʒi/, U.S.

/ˈˌnænoʊˌtɛkˈnɑlədʒi/

Origin: Formed within English, by compounding. Etymons: nano- comb. form, technology n.

Etymology: < nano- comb. form + technology n.

The branch of technology that deals with dimensions and tolerances of 1 to 100 nanometres, or, generally, with the manipulation of individual atoms and molecules.

1974 N. Taniguchi in Proc. Internat. Conf. Production Engin. ii. 18/1 The usual precision finishing technology has aimed to get the preciseness and fineness of 1 μm, i.e. 10⁻⁶m in length, hence it says ‘micro-technology’, not so accurate in meaning. Consequently, in contrast, the finishing technology aimed to get the preciseness and fineness of 1nm would be called ‘Nano-technology’.

1998 Independent 2 Apr. 2/7 The most obvious use for such a power plant would be in ‘nanotechnology’ systems, where mechanical systems may be so tiny that hundreds of them can fit onto the head of a pin.

2000 Business Rev. Weekly 11 Aug. 60 The areas that some venture capitalists are entering include biotechnology, and ‘over the horizon’ developments such as micro-machining and nanotechnology.

2019 Times 19 Nov. 33/3 If human waste can be processed chemically at the household level, helped along with affordable nanotechnology, then not only will water be saved but some diseases brought under control.
