Nanotechnology is the branch of medicine that deals with dimensions of less then 100 nanometers, and most commonly with the manipulation of individual atoms and molecules. The ideas and concepts of nanotechnology and nanoscience started with a talk called, "There's Plenty of Room at the Bottom" by physicist Richard Feynman. Feynman, considered the father of nanotechnology, first described a process in which scientists would be able to manipulate and control individual atoms and molecules. Everything on earth is made up of atoms, which is why everything can be manipulated using nanotechnology.
Something that I found really interesting about nanotechnology is that it is commonly used in food and we can't even tell. Nanotechnology has been used to make interactive personalized foods, edible nano wrapper to decrease waste, chemical release packaging and can allow flavors to be released in different ways. One Australian company has already been using vitamins that are nano-encapsulated to manufacture bread that has no flavor but still has all the nutritional value. Nanotechnology is a part of everyday life and since the particles are so small we would never even notice it.
