ABSTRACT

The appearance of “nanoscience” and “nanotechnology” stimulated the burst of terms with “nano-” prefix. Historically the term “nanotechnology” appeared before and it was connected with the appearance of possibilities to determine measurable values up to 10-9 of known parameters: 10-9 m-nm (nanometer), 10-9 s-ns (nanosecond), 10-9 degree (nanodegree, shift condition). Nanotechnology and molecular nanotechnology comprise the set of technologies connected with transport of atoms and other chemical particles (ions, molecules) at distances contributing the interactions between them with the formation of nanostructures with different nature.
