Although it is a still a relatively new addition to the scientific community--having only existed since the 1980s--nanotechnology is the science behind microscopic inventions, such as electronics, food, or medicine. The technology harkens back to the movement of atoms and arrangement of them into shapes, which readers can dive into within this book. Readers might not even realize they've used nanotechnology before, as it can be found within waterproof phone screens or socks to make them smell good! Fascinating graphics, achievable text, and helpful diagrams will guide readers on their knowledge expedition, as they learn about a scientific tool rising in importance.
