Nanotechnology is the investigation of managing iotas with just a couple of nanometers in measurements.

Nanotechnology can be comprehensively arranged into Nanomaterials, Nanoelectronics and the Nano-biotechnology.

IIT Bombay is one of the main establishments in the nation for research in the region of Nanotechnology. IIT Bombay has as of late merged its Nanotechnology inquire about exercises through the development of a Center for Research in Nanotechnology and Science (CRNTS).

IIT Bombay has as of late gotten significant financing from the Department of Science and Technology (DST), Govt of India for the development of a Center for Research in Nanotechnology and Science (CRNTS) on the IIT Bombay grounds.

IIT Bombay's Center for Research in Nanotechnology and Science (CRNTS) is required to assume a key part in the nation in the improvement of Nanotechnology R&D.
