Difference between nano physics and nanotechnology

Click For Summary
Nano physics focuses on the fundamental principles and effects at the nanoscale, particularly related to quantum dynamics. In contrast, nanotechnology involves the practical application of these principles to create new materials and devices. Understanding quantum dynamics is essential for grasping the concepts of nano physics. Therefore, while nano physics provides the theoretical foundation, nanotechnology translates that knowledge into real-world applications. This distinction is crucial for anyone embarking on a project in this field.

Hi,
I am preparing for a project based on nano physics, and I am just 'beginner'. While preparing I just could not make out the difference between nano physics and nanotechnology. Can somebody help me?

Thank you very much.
 
Physics news on Phys.org
I would say that nano physics was the study of nano effects and nano technology was the application, the practical aspects of nano effects.
 
Ok. When talking about 'nano' the effects which come across are related to quantum dynamics right? So can we say that on studying quantum dynamics a person is able to speak of nano physics?
 
I do not have a good working knowledge of physics yet. I tried to piece this together but after researching this, I couldn’t figure out the correct laws of physics to combine to develop a formula to answer this question. Ex. 1 - A moving object impacts a static object at a constant velocity. Ex. 2 - A moving object impacts a static object at the same velocity but is accelerating at the moment of impact. Assuming the mass of the objects is the same and the velocity at the moment of impact...
