nanoscientists
Molecular realm investigators
Nanoscientists are researchers who study and manipulate matter at the nanometer scale—roughly one to one hundred billionths of a meter, where individual atoms and molecules become the building blocks.
The field spans physics, chemistry, biology, and engineering, with applications in medicine, electronics, and materials science: Nanoscientists are developing targeted drug delivery systems that attack cancer cells directly.
