About
Nanotechnology is the understanding and control of matter at dimensions between approximately 1 and 100 nanometers, where unique phenomena enable novel applications. Nanotechnology involves imaging, measuring, modeling, and manipulating matter at this length scale, and involves the fields of science, engineering, and technology.

- 2007-09-25 Researchers Develop Nanoblade: "The materials could be extremely useful for energy storage, particularly hydrogen storage, Wang said. In order to store hydrogen, a large surface area is needed to provide room for the material to expand as more hydrogen atoms are stored. The vast surface area of each nanoblade, coupled with the large spaces between each blade, could make them ideal for this application."
