Nanotechnologist Job Description Nanotechnologists are responsible for performing research and work relating to structures at the atomic and subatomic levels. They may work in fields such as energy development, medicine and others in order to discover new applications for nanotechnology, and improve upon existing applications.
All I know about nano is it is really small. Like a nanosecond.
I'm not your man for this one.
Nanotechnology is science, engineering, and technology conducted at the nanoscale, which is about 1 to 100 nanometers. Physicist Richard Feynman, the father of nanotechnology. Nanoscience and nanotechnology are the study and application of extremely small things and can be used across all the other science fields, such as chemistry, biology, physics, materials science, and engineering.
Ever hear of the "information bubble" or "filter bubble?" In short, it's created by Google and other search engines personalizing your search results based upon your previous searches and what you look at online. You and I can look up the same thing and get drastically different results; results that back up our current thought processes/ opinions. This in mind, it's entirely possible any search you run at this point will result in tildes, sandwiches, and nipples. lol
But, no. I ran searches and couldn't sort out the difference on my own. For some reason, all I got was advertisements for shovels and lime. *shrugs*
I am not sure nanotechnologist is even a real word or frequently used. If it it is a used title I would assume the difference would be like the difference between a chemist and chemical engineer. One is an expert in the mechanisms of action and does research into new systems and products. The other specializes in applying those discoveries in a practical engineering sense and how to scale up or scale down new discoveries to be of a practical use for industry.

That particular site doesn't have a profile on nanoengineering or nano engineer or nanotechnology engineer or nuthin'. It seemed like that's all I was getting. If a site discussed one, it didn't discuss the other, and there was so much overlap between the ones I did find that it was breaking my brain. But, I think you're right, especially the way you explained it.
Oh I believe you. I just said that to show my ignorance on it. Nano tech is interesting to me and I follow it to a degree, but it is so out of the realm of anything a hobbist or home gamer can delve into on their own that I don't pay as much attention to it as other things. I can tau around with it so I don't follow it as much as other disciplines.
Yet that is usually the basic difference between any ____ist/____ologist and a ______ engineer. One studies the methods and focuses on making new discoveries and the other applies them to industry and understands large scale systems of production and use. Like in my chemistry example, a chemist would know how to make warfarin say, but not so well versed in making giant automated industrial vats of it.
