Nanotechnology is a branch of engineering that deals with design using very small particles and with the manipulation of individual molecules.
Scientists at Rice University have designed the world’s smallest car. The nanocar has a length of 3 nanometers and a width of 2 nanometers. A human hair, by comparison, is about 80,000 nanometers in diameter. The wheels are buckyballs, which consist of 60 atoms pure carbon formed like a sphere.
