Nanoscience is a product of nanotechnology. As the word indicates, Nanoscience is the branch of science dealing with the issues of Nanotechnology. Nanoscience as with the case of Nanotechnology was derived from the word ‘Nano’ meaning small or dwarf. So, Nanoscience can be defined as a field of science that deals with molecules, atoms and other objects which vary in terms of nanometres (Nano=1 billionth).
Nanoscience is different from other forms of science such as physics. This is because the latter deals on the properties that are in the macroscopic level while the former deals on the properties that are in the nanoscopic level. Nanotechnology and Nanoscience involves working in parallel with studying with matter that is present on the nanoscopic scale. Both encompass of variety of procedures and techniques rather than focusing on a single discipline—including engineering, medicine, physics and chemistry.
Nanoscience has suddenly emerged as a huge field because of the vast scope that it offers. In the past days the scientist and the researches were only able to see the matter only at certain levels. But with the introduction of nanotechnology and nanoscience, the scope of research and investigation has gone few steps ahead. Now the researchers and scientists were able to see the matter at their nano scales or nano sizes and vast number of nano instruments took their existence. This indeed is going to make a way for huge inventions and discoveries that can be anticipates in the near future.
Nanoscience is currently the most in-demand field of science.
