Nanotechnology Nanotechnology (sometimes shortened to "nanotech") is the study of manipulating matter on an atomic and molecular scale. Generally‚ nanotechnology deals with developing materials‚ devices‚ or other structures possessing at least one dimension sized from 1 to 100 nanometres. Quantum mechanical effects are important at this quantum-realm scale. It is considered a key technology for the future and various governments have invested billions of dollars in its future. The USA has invested

Nanotechnology Uses to Enhance Computer Performance Nanotechnology Uses to Enhance Computer Performance Introduction Although the core concepts of nanotechnology were introduced in the early 1950’s‚ nanotechnology was not properly introduced to the world until 1974. That was the year a Japanese scientist‚ named Tanigushi‚ coined the word “nanotechnology”. Nanotechnology refers to the constructing and engineering of systems at the atomic level. “Nanotechnology will be the major technology

HISTORY OF NANOTECHNOLOGY Nowadays the realm of Nanotechnology has getting much attention at globally. If the old days‚ bigger is much more preferable and fascinating‚ but now small has become much attention from most of the study. Most of definition on Nanotechnology revolves around the study and control of phenomena and materials at length scales below 100 nm. Beside that’s‚ Nanotechnology refers to the constructing and engineering of the functional system at very micro level/ atomic level. According

Discuss the impact nanotechnology will have on modern society. Zachary Lloyd Nanotechnology is defined as the branch of science that deals with the development of functional systems at a molecular scale and involves the manipulation of individual atoms and molecules (Responsible Nanotechnology‚ 2002; United States Nanotechnology Inititaive‚ 2014; Dictionary.com‚ 2014). According to James B. Lewis Enterprises (1986)‚ Fanfair‚ Desai and Kelty (2007)‚ the idea of nanotechnology was first brought

always pushed for technological advances working at the most efficient level‚ perhaps‚ the molecular level. The developments and progress in artificial intelligence and molecular technology have spawned a new form of technology; Nanotechnology. Nanotechnology could give the human race eternal life‚ or it could cause total annihilation. The idea of nanotech was conceived by a man named K. Eric Drexler (Stix 94)‚ which he defines as "Technology based on the manipulation of individual atoms

Nanotechnology holds huge promise in a wide range of applications but there are potential risks. Discuss. “Nanotechnology is the science of creating or modifying materials at the atomic and molecular level to develop new or enhanced materials and products. Nano-materials are one-billionth of a meter in size‚ a thousand times smaller than a red blood cell.”[i] One of the common words that are being referenced these days when we discuss about the world developing into a more advanced is nanotechnology
