What exactly does nano mean?
Nano is a unit of length, not nano, and the symbol of the international system of units is nm. 1 nm = 10 minus 9 meters. 1 nm is four times the size of an atom, which is much smaller than the length of a single bacterium.

The performance of electronic devices manufactured by nano-technology is much better than that of traditional electronic devices, and the power consumption can also be greatly reduced. There is a lot of information storage. A 5-inch CD less than the palm of your hand can store all the books of at least 30 Beijing libraries. Small size and light weight can greatly reduce the size and weight of various electronic products.

Extended data

A single bacterium is invisible to the naked eye, and the diameter measured by microscope is about five microns. Suppose that a hair has a diameter of 0.05 mm and is cut into 50,000 pieces on average along the axial direction, and the thickness of each piece is about 1nm. 1 nm is 0.00000 1 mm nanoscience and technology, sometimes called nanotechnology, which studies the properties and applications of materials with structural dimensions between 1 and 100 nm.

The development of nanotechnology has led to many new disciplines related to nanotechnology. There are nano-medicine, nano-chemistry, nano-electronics, nano-materials, nano-biology and so on.

Scientists all over the world know the importance of nanotechnology to the development of science and technology, so all countries in the world spend a lot of money to develop nanotechnology in an attempt to seize the strategic highland in the field of nanotechnology. China held a seminar on nanotechnology development strategy in 199 1 and formulated the development strategy.
