Difference between nano physics and nanotechnology

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

Nano physics focuses on the study of phenomena at the nanoscale, particularly the quantum effects that arise in materials and systems at this scale. In contrast, nanotechnology applies the principles and findings of nano physics to create practical applications and technologies. Understanding quantum dynamics is essential for grasping the concepts of nano physics, as it underpins the behavior of materials at the nanoscale. Therefore, a solid foundation in quantum dynamics is crucial for anyone delving into nano physics.

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?
