What exactly is the difference between Microtech and Nanotech? Is Nanotech really 1000x smaller, and better than Microtech?

nano tech is more about producing object at a molecular level which take advantages of molecular effects, this can be used to generate selfcleaning coatings, or molecule sized machines

micro technology is more about the miniturisation of machines which use more conventional mechanincal effects.

[edit] micro turbines

is there any more information on this? i have seen that these turbines are mostly based around normal bladed radial designs, however the tip losses on the blades are significant. has any resurch been put into using the viscous shear of the fluid, which wouldbe relitivly large at this scail, to impart or extract energy from the fluid?
