different between nanoscale vs nanofabrication

English

nano- +? scale

nanoscale (not comparable)

nanoscale (plural nanoscales)

A measuring tool with gradations in nanometers.
- 2005, Jürgen Schulte, Nanotechnology: Global Strategies, Industry Trends and Applications [1], ?ISBN, page 167:
  The nanoscales under development will have 10 000 to 40 000 graduations per 1 mm distance.
The scale of nanotechnology.
- 2006, Jessica Elzea Kogel, Industrial Minerals & Rocks: Commodities, Markets, and Use [2], ?ISBN, page 1441:
  As opposed to the microscale, the nanoscale is not just another step toward miniaturization: it results in a qualitatively new material.

nano- +? fabrication

nanofabrication (countable and uncountable, plural nanofabrications)

Fabrication, such as building or sculpting, at the nanoscale, on the level of individual molecules.
