Abstract—A review of the current state-of-the-art in the science of the structure of matter in a nanometer-scale
size is presented. The notion of the “nanoworld” has been introduced, and the decisive role of the nanoworld in
the formation of chemical matter has been shown. The effectiveness of the mathematical apparatus and the pos-
sibility of coding the processes of formation and development, as well as the past evolution (for viruses taken
as an example), have been analyzed for a great number of real (primarily, inorganic) substances.
