Nanotech

Nanotechnology, shortened to "nanotech", is the study of the controlling of matter on an atomic and molecular scale. Generally nanotechnology deals with structures of the size 100 nanometers or smaller in at least one dimension, and involves developing materials or devices within that size. Nanotechnology is very diverse, ranging from extensions of conventional device physics to completely new approaches based upon molecular self-assembly, from developing new materials with dimensions on the nanoscale to investigating whether we can directly control matter on the atomic scale.

There has been much debate on the future implications of nanotechnology. Nanotechnology has the potential to create many new materials and devices with a vast range of applications, such as in medicine, electronics and energy production. On the other hand, nanotechnology raises many of the same issues as with any introduction of new technology, including concerns about the toxicity and environmental impact of nanomaterials, and their potential effects on global economics, as well as speculation about various doomsday scenarios. These concerns have led to a debate among advocacy groups and governments on whether special regulation of nanotechnology is warranted.

Name Concepts
The word "nano" meaning one-billionth then leading on to "very-small" or "particle"

The word "tech" short for "technology" which comes from a technicle form meaning, futuristic usage

Thus putting them together "Particles of technology" being created into a form of medicine, or healing.

Ratchet & Clank's use of Nanotechnology
The form of Nanotech in the game series created by InsomniacGames comes in a floating form of circular image, that is either blue, or purple. The purple color is higher concentrated, the blue color means less concentrated. The nanotech is used for health upgrades, or even a shield from a gun, bought from Megacorp. When nanotech is attracted only the nano-particles come to Ratchet and/or Clank, thus, nano-particles meaning nano-bots are extremely small spheres, dragging the color of highconcentrated or lowconcentrated colour, behind the bots or particle. It is seen that Ratchet's and/or Clank's outer body glows when aquiring Nanotech, although in real world, when nanotech is aquired, this does not happen, this is the only fictional fact about Ratchet and Clank's nanotech, besides the fact that it floats in a circular objective.
