You may want to consider this ranking - of the top chemistry programs in terms of research quality - as a rough guide. Take this list and then adjust in your mind for the number of undergraduate science majors at each school on the list. Then go talk with professors and students, as extensively as you can (preferably during an extended visit). Of course, do not limit yourself exclusively to this or any other list.

MIT and Yale have exceptionally strong programs in nanotechnology, specifically. Study undergraduate physics and chemistry and take a few engineering courses. You can also conduct research in one of the laboratories. Specialization in this field would occur later on, at the graduate level, and having a good mentor is key, in order to direct your path and provide top recommendations. If you go to a huge school, that will be a lot harder than it will be if you go to a small, elite school such as MIT, Yale, Caltech or Rice.
