    Glossary Nanotechnology

    science of manipulating matter at atomic or molecular scale

    Nanotechnology is the science and engineering of manipulating matter at the atomic or molecular scale, typically less than 100 nanometers. This technology enables the creation of new materials and devices with unique properties and functions, which can be applied in various fields including medicine, electronics, and energy. For instance, in the context of hair and alopecia, nanotechnology can be used to develop advanced drug delivery systems that target hair follicles more effectively.
