Abstract :

The purpose of this article is to describe some aspects of the development of nanoscience and nanotechnology. Nanoscience studies the behavior of the substance on the scale of a few atoms or molecules. The analysis shows that the Brazilian research in the area is considered recent, albeit under other names, date of at least 20 years. Innovation is still fairly recent and there are different views on the issue. However, there is already a tendency to promote innovation in nanotechnology in the country. Nanotechnology is considered as the next technological revolution. Proponents of nanotechnology to consider as a solution to the main problems of developing countries. Many arguments are presented regarding this optimistic view, which does not take into account the social context in which science and technology are developed.
