Molecular Nanotechnology (MNT) Molecular Nanotechnology (MNT) is a technology that is used to design complex structures through mechanosynthesis process, in order to obtain the correct atomic specifications. In this technology, complex products are built using nanomachines. This process is not at all similar to nanomaterials as it is based on molecular manufacturing. The mechanosynthesis process
Molecular Self-assembly When the molecules of a material have the capability to arrange itself without the help or guidance of another source, the method is called molecular self-assembly. Molecular self-assembly is categorized into two. They are – Intramolecular self-assembly and Intermolecular self-assembly Intermolecular self-assembly is more commonly known as molecular self-assembly and intramolecular self-assembly is
Nanomaterials Nanomaterials are material science based approach to nanotechnology. All the materials that are used for nanotechnology are studied and their properties are applied according to their application.  Most of the nanomaterials used in nanotechnology are smaller than 1 µm.
