Nano-science is everywhere, from khakis, to glue, to toothpaste, to soy milk.

Nanotechnology is the manipulation of individual atoms and molecules to engineer microscopic devices.

Nanomaterials, similarly, are chemicals and substances manufactured on the same microscopic nano- scale.

Here are some examples:

Elmer's Glue

Nanomaterial: Titanium Dioxide

Why is it used?: Increase hardness and strength of dried glue

Daisy Low-Fat Cottage Cheese

Nanomaterial: Titanium Doixide

Why is it used?: Pigment properties
