Nanostructured coatings and layers, only billionths of a meter thick, can be applied to an object to protect against water, dirt, wear, and even bacteria. Working at the nanoscale, scientists and engineers are developing new and innovative applications in the fields of energy, electronics, and medicine. "Nanotechnology: Super Small Science" is produced by NBC News Learn in partnership with the National Science Foundation.
