Question Dear Mike
I'm an 18 years old Iranian boy and would like to know what exactly nano is about.ofcourse I've read some stuff about it and wherever I see something about it,that would be something I read.I'm also really enthusiastic to continue my study in this field.but unfortunately there is no official source i can find in my country.so I have to study something which is useful for nanotechnology.would you please guide me.and I'd be really grateful if you give me a list of advantages and disadvantages(the troubles I may face) in studying nano.
by the way sorry for my bad writing.
Best Regards
