Nevertheless‚ Science has helped mankind to solve this problem and one of the current approaches being explored in many countries‚ including South Africa is nanotechnology. Nanotechnology has developed widely in the past few years and was able to create new materials with a great range of potential applications. One of these new materials are carbon nanotubes and researchers find that these tubes can be used to clean

*Corresponding Author: Aadarsh Mishra aadarshm9@gmail.com Nanotechnology is much discussed these days as a emerging frontier - a realm in which machines operate at scales of billionth a metre. It is actually a multitude of rapidly emerging technologies based upon the scaling down of existing technologies to the next level of precision and miniaturization. Researchers are enthusiastic about its potential applications in the field of nanotechnology such as energy‚ medicine‚ electronics‚ computing and materials

GEK1509: Introduction to the Nanoworld Short Project Report I Done by: Nguyen Huy Anh – A0088386L NUS Business School Nanoscience and nanotechnology is an area of science which study the behavior and manipulating objects on atomic or molecular scale. This is a relatively new area of science‚ which only emerged in the past 40 years‚ since Richard Feynman’s famous lecture “ There are plenty of rooms in the bottom” in 1959. This area surely brings many challenges‚ but at the same time opens limitless

Green Technology: Future of power generation NEED FOR GREEN TECHNOLOGY Recently concluded Copenhagen conference on climate change and green house emission expressed concern over the amount of CO2 being released. This would in turn heat up the atmosphere and cause global warming that will result in the melting of glaciers and hence the sea level will rise that is a threat to several coastal cities of the world. So one can imagine how the amount of CO2 emissions can cause problems of displacing

At that time manufacturing at molecular and atomic level was laughed about. But due to advent of nanotechnology we have realized it to a certain level. One such product manufactured is PILL CAMERA‚ which is used for the treatment of cancer‚ ulcer and anemia. It has made revolution in the field of medicine. This tiny capsule can pass through our body‚ without

Nanoparticles that end up in the human body unintendedly can cause severe health problems. There have been case studies of people who have worked in paint factories that suffer from lung disease because they have inhaled these nanoparticles (Staff).

Green nanotechnology Nanotechnology involves the manipulation of materials at the scale of the nanometer‚ one billionth of a meter. Some scientists believe that mastery of this subject is forthcoming that will transform the way that everything in the world is manufactured. "Green nanotechnology" is the application of green chemistry and green engineering principles to this field. The term "technology"

1.CANCER Cancer /ˈkænsər/‚ known medically as a malignant neoplasm‚ is a broad group of diseases involving unregulated cell growth. In cancer‚ cellsdivide and grow uncontrollably‚ forming malignant tumors‚ and invading nearby parts of the body. The cancer may also spread to more distant parts of the body through the lymphatic system or bloodstream. Not all tumors are cancerous; benign tumors do not invade neighboring tissues and do not spread throughout
