- 1. THE NEXT BIGTHING IS REALLY SMALL
- 2. Nanotechnology is the art and science of manipulating matter at an atomic scale Making new things on an incredibly small scale is called nanotechnology. It's one of the most exciting and fast-moving areas of science and technology today. With 15,342 atoms, this parallel-shaft speed reducer gear is one of the largest Nano-mechanical devices ever modeled in atomic detail.
- 3. Technically, Nano means one-billionth. So nanometer is one billionth of a meter. 1 nanometer = 10-9 meters The Nano scale is 1000 times smaller than the microscopic scale and a billion (1000 million) times smaller than the world of meters that we live in. Its difficult to imagine just how small that is....
- 4. A sheet of paper is about 100,000 nanometers thick. One nanometer is about as long as your fingernail grows in one second. There are 25,400,000 nanometers in one inch Here are some examples ;
- 5. Nanotechnology has been around as a recognized branch of science for only about fifty years. When we want more in a smaller package, component size must be reduced, and this increasingly involves working with components at the Nano-scale. Evolution of nanoechnology has been the most important to silicone chip technology...
- 6. The first point contact transistor built in 1947. Intel's 32 nm Nehalem chip architecture incorporates around 1.9 billion transistors in a single chip.
- 7. Can create unique materials and products which are; Stronger Lighter Cheaper Durable Computers can become billion times faster and million times smaller. Can be used to cure illnesses. (eg: Cancer, AIDS) Effective energy-producing, energy-absorbing, and energy storage products in smaller and more efficient devices is possible.
- 8. Nanotechnologies to be more specific: nanomaterial's are already used in numerous products and industrial applications.
- 9. USE OF NANOTECHNOLOGY IN HEALTH CARE The use of nanotechnology in medicine offers some exciting possibilities. Some techniques are only imagined, while others are at various stages of testing, or actually being used today. The use of nanotechnology in the field of medicine could revolutionize the way we detect and treat damage to the human body and diseases in the future.
- 10. One application of nanotechnology in medicine currently being developed is deliver drugs, heat, light or other substances to specific types of cells. Particles are engineered so that they are attracted to diseased cells, which allows direct treatment of those cells. Treatment for Cancer Cells
- 11. USE OF NANOTECHNOLOGY IN CONSUMER PRODUCTS Nano has already found its way into lots of products you use every day, from clothing to tennis racquets. If you strolled around your home youd probably find dozens of products manufactured using some kind of nanotechnology.
- 12. A hydrophobic coating glove that repels water and refined oils using nanotechnology
- 13. Health Issues - The effects of nanomaterial's on human biology Nano particles can serious illness or damage human body. Untraceble destructive weapons of mass destruction. Environmental Issues - The effects of nanomaterial's on the environment Nanopollution is created by manufacturing of nano-particles. Contributes to global warming.
- 14. Social & Political Issues - The effects that the availability of Nano-technological devices will have on politics and human interaction Create social strife through increasing wealth gap. Advisability of increasing scope of the technology creates political dilemma Grey Goo Its a hypotetical situation where self replicating Nanobots go out of control, and consume all the matter on Earth.
- 15. Nanotechnology will be the one science of the future that no other science can live without.
- 16. Use Of Nanotechnology (BuckyPaper) In The Future Buckypaper is a thin sheet made from an aggregate of carbon nanotubes The nanotubes are approximately 50,000 times thinner than a human hair.
- 17. The future of nanotechnology could very well include the use of NanoRobotics. There would be an entire nano surgical field to help cure everything natural aging to diabetes to bone spurs.
