    Nanotechnology is an emerging technology that allows scientists to create, explore and manipulate materials on a scale measured in nanometers -particles so small that they cannot be seen w ith a regular microscope. The technology has a broad range of potential applications, such as improving the packaging of food and altering the look and feel of cosmetics.
