What type of Degree in what subject would you need for Nanotechnology? Any colleges to go to?

Best bet would be physics, chemistry, and engineering for your undergrad training, followed by materials science and any specific nanotech courses in grad school-a master's or better would be needed.  Cal tech is tops in this field.

It is the cross disciplinary study of merging nanotechnology and genetics; i.e using nanostructure to create nanometer size machine. For example, a nanosize red blood cell would be used to cure some ailments.

nanotechnology is working with microchips and tiny electrical stuff.

A nanometer is one billionth of a meter.  Nanotechnology is any technology which exploits phenomena and structures that can only occur at the nanometer scale, which is the scale of several atoms and small molecules.  There are proposed uses for this in many industries.  For example, nanobots could go into your bloodstream and promote healing like in sci-fi movies.

The word nano comes from nanometers i.e. 10^-9 meters.\nMaterials having dimensions of that order show special properties explained by quantum mechanics. So physics of electronic devices having sizes in nanometers are termed nano-electronics. One major usefulness is compactness as you can have lots of devices in a small chip. Also you can control the properties of such devices just by changing their sizes (within limits, can't be too big of course).

Georgia Tech is obviously the best choice for those fields, and Georgia State would be a good second choice.  I suspect there may be other programs at smaller schools, but I'd focus on these.

Try Computer Science or Electricals. Biotech is also promising.

I bet it will be nanomachines.  Microscopic machines that work at the molecular level will be crucial in the biomedical fields and in new tech innovations that we use everyday, like today cell phones.  Did you ever see that add for microsoft where it was in the near future and this girl was jogging and she got a video conference call from her dad over her sunglasses? He brought up schematics of art works he was thinking of buying and talking to her while she was jogging... well thats all going to be possible with molecular computers.  Unfortunately though, so will other really bad things, we'll just have to see how it goes.

Nanotechnology comprises technological developments on the nanometer scale, usually 0.1 to 100 nm (1/1,000 µm, or 1/1,000,000 mm). \nNanotechnology covers a wide range of industries, and therefore the potential benefits are also widespread. Telecommunications and Information technology could benefit in terms of faster computers and advanced data storage.\n\nFor the near-term, critics of nanotechnology point to the potential toxicity of new classes of nanosubstances that could adversely affect the stability of cell membranes or disturb the immune system when inhaled, digested or absorbed through the skin.\ninformation taken from the following link:(also, go there for additional info)

this is basically what is nanotechnology.........\n\nNanotechnology is defined as fabrication of devices with atomic or molecular scale precision. Devices with minimum feature sizes less than 100 nanometers (nm) are considered to be products of nanotechnology. A nanometer is one billionth of a meter (10-9 m) and is the unit of length that is generally most appropriate for describing the size of single molecules. The nanoscale marks the nebulous boundary between the classical and quantum mechanical worlds; thus, realization of nanotechnology promises to bring revolutionary capabilities. Fabrication of nanomachines, nanoelectronics and other nanodevices will undoubtedly solve an enormous amount of the problems faced by mankind today.\n\nNanotechnology is currently in a very infantile stage. However, we now have the ability to organize matter on the atomic scale and there are already numerous products available as a direct result of our rapidly increasing ability to fabricate and characterize feature sizes less than 100 nm. Mirrors that don't fog, biomimetic paint with a contact angle near 180°, gene chips and fat soluble vitamins in aqueous beverages are some of the first manifestations of nanotechnology. However, immenant breakthroughs in computer science and medicine will be where the real potential of nanotechnology will first be achieved.\n\nNanoscience is an interdisciplinary field that seeks to bring about mature nanotechnology. Focusing on the nanoscale intersection of fields such as physics, biology, engineering, chemistry, computer science and more, nanoscience is rapidly expanding. Nanotechnology centers are popping up around the world as more funding is provided and nanotechnology market share increases. The rapid progress is apparent by the increasing appearance of the prefix "nano" in scientific journals and the news. Thus, as we increase our ability to fabricate computer chips with smaller features and improve our ability to cure disease at the molecular level, nanotechnology is here.\nregards\nram

The newest and most innovative and exciting one is outside of Boston. It is called Olin University. It is for engineers. \n\nOthers: Massachusetts Institute of Technology, California Institute of Technology, Illinois Institute of Technoolgy, Univeristy of Missouri at Rolla, Lehigh University.

I think you are asking something like:\n\nWhat does it mean when we say "Nanotechnology plays by different rules"?\n\nWhen we start to work on the atomic scale as is done in nanotech, classical physics can't explain the phenomena that we sometimes encounter.  Instead, quantum mechanics is used to help determine the operation of many nanoscale devices.  So nanotechnology sort of "plays by different rules" than macroscopic technology.

The term "nanotechnology" was defined by Tokyo Science University Professor Norio Taniguchi in a 1974 paper (N. Taniguchi, "On the Basic Concept of 'Nano-Technology'," Proc. Intl. Conf. Prod. Eng. Tokyo, Part II, Japan Society of Precision Engineering, 1974.) as follows: "'Nano-technology' mainly consists of the processing of, separation, consolidation, and deformation of materials by one atom or one molecule."

Quantum dots are small devices that contain a tiny droplet of free electrons. They are fabricated in semiconductor materials and have typical dimensions between nanometres to a few microns

A branch of science and engineering devoted to the design and production of extremely small electronic devices and circuits built from individual atoms and molecules.It ia a technology that creates small materials at the scale of molecules by manipulating single atoms. The name nano comes from the size of molecules which is measured in nanometers - or one billionth of a meter (0.000000001 meter).

Nanotechnology is everywhere already, most people just don't know it. For nearly one hundred years US spies have been using miniature gadgets cleverly sealed within everyday things, popularized by the James Bond movies and other spy-thrillers.  The term nano is anything that we deem reallyreallyreally small. IE Ipod Nano, etc. I think by Nano you mean, REALLY small, and alot of things already are, like the phone and watch analogie you used, one of the best ways to keep in-touch with nanotechnology and to understand its direction, is to study its past and present first, try livescience.com or wikipedia.org, good luck!
