Goals in nanotechnology can be broadly classified into short-term and long-term objectives:
Short-term goals: These include immediate research objectives such as developing a new nanomaterial, optimizing a specific nanofabrication technique, or conducting preliminary experiments to test a hypothesis. Long-term goals: These are visionary aims such as creating a sustainable energy source using nanotechnology, developing nanomedicine for targeted drug delivery, or achieving significant breakthroughs in quantum computing.
