This technology is very sophisticated and to play with this technology scientists require the right tools. In 1980 IBM scientists invented STM(Scanning Tunneling Microscope. Using such a machine, they could observe a molecule structure. In 1981 Professor Norio Taniguchi coined the term "Nanotechnology".
Let’s have a closer look at what is so special about nanoscale. In nanoscale, materials act differently. Quantum effect takes over the natural properties. Melting point, fluorescence, electrical conductivity, magnetic permeability, and chemical reactivity change as a function of the size of the particle. Thus, it is possible to fine tune this properties of material on the scale.
