DEFINITION

• A nanometre is a unit of length in the metric
  system, which equals to one billionth of a metre.
• Technology is the making, usage, and knowledge of
  tools, machine and techniques, in order to solve
  a problem a specific function.
• Nanotechnology is the study of manipulating
  matters on atomic scale.

Nanotechnology in India

• Initiatives such as DST-Nanomission
  (nano-biotechnology activities) through DBT, ICMR
  and CoE in Nanoelectronics by MeitY support
  nanoscience, nanotechnology, nanobiotechnology
  and nanoelectronics activities.
• Eighteen sophisticated analytical instruments
  facilities (SAIFs) established by DST across
  India play a major role in advanced
  characterisation and synthesis of nano-materials
  for various applications.
• CoE in Nanoscience and Nanotechnology established
  by DST-Nanomission helps research and PG students
  in various thrust areas.
• Thematic units of excellence (TUEs) for various
  areas of nanoscience and nanotechnology play a
  major role in product-based research to support
  nanotechnology.

Pitfalls of Nanotechnology

• One of the major disadvantages of nanotechnology
  at present is that it is very expensive and
  developing it can cost a lot of money..
• Nanotechnology has put a lot of people out of
  jobs in the past few decades. 
• Due to the development of Nano technology, atomic
  weapons can now be made more accessible and can
  also be made more destructive and powerful. 
• Another issue with nanotechnology is that since
  the particles of nanotechnology are very minute,
  problems can crop up from the inhalation of these
  particles.

Conclusion

• Nanotechnology has achieved tremendous
  progress in the past several decades. It is
  expected that nanotechnology will
  change dentistry, health care, and human life
  more profoundly than many developments of the
  past. As with all technologies, nanotechnology
  carries a significant potential for misuse and
  abuse on a scale and scope never seen before.
• Nanotechnology seems to be where the world is
  headed if technology keeps advancing and
  competition practically guarantees that advance
  will continue.
