Nano

Technology
Nanotechnology is a little known
science, that deals with building things
out of atoms and molecules. This is
similar to how nature works, building
things at the molecular level
Nano Revolution

 How It Started

 The Nature of the Revolution


Introduction
 Nanotechnology deals with experimentation
with objects that have dimensions of less than
about 1,000 nanometers. This is incredible
small. A nanometer is one billionth of a meter in
size.
 Nanotechnology involves the control of
materials at the nano-scale,achieving
miniaturization through atomic and molecular
manufacturing techniques.
Defination of Nanotechnology
It is "nanotechnology" only if it involves all of the
following:
 1. Research and technology development at the atomic,
molecular or macromolecular levels, in the length scale of
approximately 1 - 100 nanometer range.
2. Creating and using structures, devices and systems that
have novel properties and functions because of their small
and/or intermediate size.
3. Ability to control or manipulate on the atomic scale.
 
There are two more concepts commonly
associated with nanotechnology:

 Positional assembly
to get the right molecular parts in the right
places
 Self replication
to keep the costs down
Introduction to MEMS
 Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems (MEMS) is the
integration of mechanical elements, sensors, actuators, and
electronics on a common silicon substrate through
microfabrication technology.

 MEMS promises to revolutionize nearly every product


category by bringing together silicon-based
microelectronics with micromachining technology,
making possible the realization of complete systems-on-a-
chip.
Application of MEMS

 Biotechnology

 Communications

 Accelerometers
Application of
Nanotecnology
 Materials and Manufacturing
 Medicine and Health
 Environment and Energy
 Nanoelectronics and Computer Technology
 Aeronautics and Space Exploration
The Advantage of
Nanotechnology
 The Nano-products could be programmed to
manipulate the molecules and atoms after they
have been made.
 Creation of computer chips.
 Fleets of medical nanorobots smaller than a cell
could roam our bodies eliminating bacteria,
clearing out clogged arteries, and reversing the
ravages of old age.
Disadvantages of
Nanotechnology
 who would control a technology as powerful
as this promises to be?
 Change that is too rapid could upset
economies and create disruption instead of
construction.
 Destructive Nanomachnies could do immense
damage to unprotected people and objects.
Conclusion
Imagine a technology so powerful that it will allow
such feats as desktop manufacturing, cellular repair,
artificial intelligence, inexpensive space travel,
clean and abundant energy, and environmental
restoration; a technology so portable that everyone
can reap its benefits; a technology so fundamental
that it will radically change our economic and
political systems; a technology so imminent that
most of us will see its impact within our lifetimes.
Such is the promise of Nanotechnology.
