Nanotechnology is a rapidly growing area of development by numerous research groups across the world with its potential applications gaining recognition since the 1950s across various fields. During the last decade of the twentieth century, researchers have actively engaged in the synthesis of nanoparticles and investigation of their physicochemical properties. Advancing the research momentum forward at the beginning of the twenty-first century, rapid development of nanoscience allowed to demonstrate unprecedented advantages of the nanomaterials and its applications in a wide range of fields. The interdisciplinary nature of nanoscience and its expansion has led to establishment of new laboratories and research centers, with increasing needs on training and educating young scientists in advanced laboratory protocols. In addition, pedagogical demands in nanotechnology and nanomaterials have resulted an emergence of new dedicated curriculums at universities which has sped up the development of nanoscience and its contribution to the body of knowledge in natural science.
纳米技术是一个快速发展的领域，世界上众多研究小组都在积极开展相关研究，其潜在应用自 20 世纪 50 年代以来在各个领域得到了认可。在 20 世纪最后十年，研究人员积极从事纳米粒子的合成及其物理化学性质的研究。在 21 世纪初，纳米科学的快速发展推动了研究的进展，使人们能够展示纳米材料及其在广泛领域应用的前所未有的优势。纳米科学的跨学科性质及其扩展导致了新的实验室和研究中心的建立，对培训和教育年轻科学家掌握先进实验室技术的需求也在不断增加。此外，纳米技术和纳米材料的教学需求促使大学开设了新的专门课程，这加速了纳米科学的发展及其对自然科学知识体系的贡献。
