What are the differences between Nanoscience and Nanoengineering?

Nanoscience is the study of structures and materials by connecting macroscopic to the nano-scale world. Building on fundamental concepts from related STEM disciplines (physics, chemistry, biology, mathematics, engineering), nanoscience:

  • Characterizes the properties (chemical, mechanical, biological) of materials on the nanoscale, and demonstrates their role in participating and mitigating the pathways and rates of chemical reactions.
  • Demonstrates the impacts of nanoparticles on environmental (system level), organismal, and human health.
  • Discovers applications of nanoparticles in the design and development of next-generation materials used for the benefit of humanity.

Nanoengineering is the practical application of nanoscience. This field involves developing emerging technologies that are miniature, powerful, and efficient. Examples include photonic lasers, nanoelectronics, medical diagnostic devices, and sensors.

Both disciplines belong to the field of nanotechnology and are multidisciplinary fields which can include chemistry, biochemistry, materials science, physics, geology, computer science, engineering disciplines, information storage, biomedical sciences, Earth Science, and environmental science.

Nanotechnology has contributed to revolutionary breakthroughs in product manufacturing and healthcare. Nano-enabled products are worth roughly US $1 trillion annually, which is expected to become the US $3 trillion in 2020. Over 600 nanotechnology-based consumer products are already on the market today, such as stronger yet lighter sports equipment, computer processors and batteries, sustainable energy devices, food products, efficient satellites, water treatment methods, enhanced images for medical diagnostics, artificial tissues, enhanced sunscreens, and antimicrobial and stain-proof fabrics.
