Encyclopedia
The Nano-Tera.ch research program is a Swiss federal program, funding scientific projects which endorse nanotechnology
on a tera scale, in order to improve health, security and the environment.
Some of its goals are to detect real time different health risks and conditions through body-integrated bio probing, to reveal security risks through smart buildings and environments, to save energy through ambient sensing and to detect environmental hazards such as floods and avalanches from inaccessible positions on earth.

Nanotechnology
Nanotechnology is the study of manipulating matter on an atomic and molecular scale. Generally, nanotechnology deals with developing materials, devices, or other structures possessing at least one dimension sized from 1 to 100 nanometres...

Project Structures
There are three types of project:- Research, Technology and Development (RTD) are large budget, multidisciplinary projects with highly ambitious objectives, and have a four year lifespan
- Nano-Tera Focused (NTF) are small projects with a very focused objective
- Educational and Dissemination (ED) projects allow undergraduates, postgraduates and even members of the public to take part
