NANOTECHNOLOGY AND SOME USAGE AREAS OF IT The nanometer is a unit length which equals 10-9 meters‚ in other words‚ billionth of a meter. In basic‚ logical perspective‚ the definition: the science‚ which studies the matter in nano dimensions for the term “nanoscience” is quite perceptible. However‚ to deeper understanding‚ it is useful to take a look at a wide definition of the nanotechnolocy‚ provided by U.S. National Nanotechnology Initiative. According to the initiative‚ “Nanotechnology is the

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

In the case of research based university departments‚ the scope is even wider and may include anything from the study of biomolecular structure to microscopy and nanomedicine. “Medical Physics Services will contribute to maintaining and improving the quality‚ safety‚ and cost-effectiveness of healthcare services through patient-oriented activities requiring expert action‚ involvement or advice regarding the specification

Nanotechnology is a multidisciplinary scientific field undergoing explosive development. Nanometer-sized particles offer novel structural‚ optical and electronic properties that are not attainable with individual molecules or bulk solids. Advances in nanomedicine can be made by engineering nanoparticles that are capable of targeted delivery of drugs. This leads toward the concept and possibility of personalized medicine for the potential of early detection of diseases and most importantly‚ molecular

Charles Darwin published his work‚ On the Origin of Species‚ a work of scientific literature known to be the foundation of evolutionary biology in 1859. On the Origin of Species summarizes Darwin’s life work and research centered around how the world and species developed to the way we know them today. His basic theory was that species were not created but evolved and that the driving force in charge of evolution was natural selection. The controversial nature of his work stemmed from his departure

Abstract: Nanoelectronics refer to the use of nanotechnology on electronic components‚ especially transistors. Although the term nanotechnology is generally defined as utilizing technology less than 100nm in size‚ nanoelectronics often refer to transistor devices that are so small that inter-atomic interactions and quantum mechanical properties need to be studied extensively. As a result‚ present transistors (such as CMOS90 from TSMC or Pentium 4 Processors from Intel) do not fall under this category

Abstract α-amylase was immobilized covalently on iron oxide magnetic nanoparticles. The synthesis of magnetic nanoparticles was done by the coprecipitation conventional method. The chemical composition and particle size of the synthesized particles was confirmed via X-ray diffraction. Tyrosine‚ Lucien and chitosan and glutaraldehyde were investigated to make a covalent binding between the iron oxide magnetic core and the immobilized enzyme. Immobilization using chitosan and glutaraldehyde show
