What is Nanotechnology?
Nanotechnology is to build up new large scalematerials by using of very small particles at thelength scale of the nanometer 10 -9.
A Nanometer is a billionth of a Meter, that is,
about 1/80,000 of the diameter of a humanhair, or 10 times the diameter of a hydrogenatom.

What can nanotechnology do for us?(1/2)
Nanotechnology consists of threeaspects:
Indirect: progressive miniaturization of existingtechnology.Direct: to enhance the performance of existing
processes and materials.Conceptual: all materials and processes areconsidered from a molecular viewpoint.

Carbon Nanotubes (CNTs)(1/2)
Carbon nanotubes are one of the mostcommonly mentioned building blocks ofnanotechnology.
One hundred times the tensile strength of steelThermal conductivity better than all but the purest
diamondElectrical conductivity similar to copper, but withthe ability to carry much higher currents

Carbon Nanotubes (CNTs)(2/2)
Carbon nanotubes were 'discovered' in 1991by Sumio Iijima .Graphite is made up of layers of carbon atomsarranged in a hexagonal lattice, like chickenwire (see the Figure)

Molecular Modeling and Simulationin Nanotechnology
Molecular modeling and simulation help infundamental understanding of nano-scalephenomena and as well as in technological
applications.
Molecular simulations provide excellent
opportunities for education and outreach whencombined with visualization tools.
