Nanotechnologies are the design characterization, production and application of structures, devices and systems by controlling shape and size at the nanometer scale. I will talk a little in a moment about what a nanometer is, but loosely speaking people think of nanotechnologies as being around a hundred nanometers or less. - Correct Answers 6 Classroom Boredom A Majority of US high school students say they get bored in class every day, and more than one out of five has considered dropping out, according to a survey released Wednesday.
