Nanotechnologie

Business Term of the Day

Definition

Nanotechnology is a developing field of technology that involves manipulating matter at the atomic scale.

Example sentence

While the majority of stocks in GoldInvest’s new portfolio consists of established companies, a speculative sub-portfolio includes five nanotechnology companies.

Comment

Although nanotechnology started to be developed in the 1980s, the first products were introduced to the market only in the early years of the 21st century. Nanotechnology has countless possible applications in such diverse fields as medicine, material science, electronics, clothing, and energy. It is therefore a potentially very interesting industry for investment. As with many other emerging technologies, however, there is a substantial risk that individual companies or projects will fail.

Definice

Nanotechnologie je rozvíjející se oblast technologie, která zahrnuje manipulaci se hmotou na úrovni atomů.

Příklad použití ve větě

Ačkoli nové portfolio společnosti GoldInvest sestává primárně z akcií zavedených společností, spekulativní dílčí portfolio obsahuje pět společností z oblasti nanotechnologií.

Poznámka

Přestože se nanotechnologie začaly rozvíjet od 80. let 20. století, první produkty byly uvedeny na trh až začátkem 21. století. Nanotechnologie má nespočet možných využití v různých oblastech jako je medicína, materiálové vědy, elektronika, oděvnictví, i energetika. Proto jde o potenciálně velmi zajímavý obor pro investice. Stejně jako u mnoha dalších rozvíjejících se technologií však i zde existuje významné riziko, že jednotlivé společnosti nebo projekty selžou.
