nanotechnology??

I was just wondering if anyone could explain nanotechnology in a nutshell for me? I know a little bit about it and just thought someone would know a little about it, for I wouldnt have to read those long pages.

small machines.

or did you want a little bit more - it wasn’t very clear how much detail you wanted.

10 seconds googling came up with this page which looks clear enough and isn’t very long.
Short page on nanotechnology

well ok…
I know that they are small machines that are cells or something along those lines. I just wanted to know how these are made and how they can actully do what we want them to… I have the jist of it but i just wanted a little more info. thx

do you want me to hold your hand and help you click on the link I provided, or would it be better if I copied it all here so that you didn’t have to bother?

A couple of points
nano machines may be a similar size to cells, but they are not cells.
jist may sound like gist, but it’s not
