Question by nancy: What is the difference between “nanotechnology” and “nanoscience” ?

Best answer:

Answer by StargazyPi
As far as I can tell, nanotechnology is the application of nanoscience, which is a much broader field. Technology implies a certain degree of mechanisation or complexity – nanoscience can just be ‘the science of really small things’.

A good example: carbon nanotubes in themselves are the subject of nanoscience – you need to be able to work on a small scale to create them. However, they have great potential as a building material as they are incredibly strong, or alternatively can be used in circuits, which I’d class as nanotechnology.

It’s a very vague difference, I’ll grant you =D
