NANOTECHNOLOGY
1. ABSTRACT:
Nanotechnology as the name suggests is derived from two words-nano meaning small and technology meaning the science and engineering so it may be defined as the science and engineering at scale of atoms and molecules. Nanotechnology involves materials so small (1 to 100 nanometers in size) that they exhibit unique properties. The goal of nanotechnology research is to understand unique properties of nanosized particles and use that knowledge to create new, high performance materials, devices and processes. Nanotechnology has no. of advantages in various fields such as nanoelectronics , nanooptics, nanobiotechnology, nanoanalysis, nanochemistry and inter disciplinary skill needs. According to National Nanotechnology Initiative nanoscience and nanoengineering are leading to unprecedented understanding of the fundamental building blocks of all physical things. These developments are likely to change the way almost everything i.e. from vaccines to computers to automobile tires to objects not yet imagined- is designed and made. Hence nanotechnology is important because it is relatively cheap, relatively safe, relatively clean and the financial rewards are relatively very high. It is the technology oriented towards applications and has potential to create new things.
2. INTRODUCTION:
“THE ONLY WAY OF FINDING THE LIMITS OF THE POSSIBLE IS BY GOING BEYOND THEM INTO THE IMPOSSIBLE AND THAT IS NANO TECHNOLOGY”
N=NEW
A=ADVANCED
N=NAISSANT (RISING OR COMING FORTH)
O=OCTONOCULAR (HAVING EIGHT EYES)
The word nanotechnology means different things to different people.
For some, it conjures up images of fabulous new materials, lighter and stronger than steel. Others envision microscopic robots that clean plaque from our arteries and tartar from our teeth.
Clearly, nanotechnology has captured the attention of the scientific community, the media and now the public, but just exactly what is it?
In the purest sense,
