In the ordinary world, matter behaves according to the principles of Newtonian physics. In the nano world, however, the quantum aspects of matter have a strong influence. These aspects result not only in significant changes in the properties of matter at this level, but also in things that would be unthinkable in the ordinary world. The physical laws of the ordinary world no longer apply.

These phenomena make nanotechnology the revolutionary field that it is. Nanotechnology holds out promise for manufacturing not only tiny things, but things that work according to completely different physical principles.
