•Scientfic researchers have developed new technological
tools that greatly improve different aspects of our lives.
The use of nanoscale is our important interdisciplinary area
generate by advancement in science and technology.
Scientst and engineers were able to build materials with
innovatve propertes as they manipulate nanomaterials.
Indeed, research and applicaton of knowledge on
nanomaterials will contnue to bring widespread
implicatons in various areas of society, especially health
care, environment , energy, food, water and agriculture.
•Nanotechnology refers to the
science, engineering, and
technology conducted at the
nanoscale, which is about 1 to 100
nanometers. Nanoscience and
nanotechnology employs the study
and applicaton of exceptonally
small things in other areas of
science including materials science,
engineering, physics, biology, and
chemistry
• The concepts of nanotechnology and nanoscience started in December 29, 1959
when Physicist Richard Feynman discussed a method in which scientsts can direct
and control individual atoms and molecules in his talk “There’s Plenty of Room at
the Botom” during the American Physical Society meetng at California Insttute of
Technology. The term “nanotechnology” was coined by Professor Norio Taniguchi a
decade afer the dawn of the use of ultraprecision machining
How small is an nanoscale?
A nanometer is a billionth of a meter, or 10-9 of a meter.
•Manipulaton of nanomaterials
needs an adept understanding of
their types and dimensions. The
various type of nanomaterials are
classified according to their
individual shapes and sizes. They
may be partcles, tube, wire, films,
flakes, or shells that have one or
more nanometer-sized
dimensions. One should be able
to view and manipulate them so
that we can take advantage of
their exceptonal characteristcs.
How to View
Nanomaterials
•Scientsts use special types of
microscopes to view minute
nanomaterial. During the early
1930s, scientsts used electron
microscopes and field
microscope to look at the
nanoscale. The scanning
tunneling microscope and atomic
force microscope are just among
the modern and remarkable
advancements in microscopy.
Electron Microscope
•German engineers Ernst Ruska and Max Knoll
built the first electron microscope during the
1930s. This type of microscope utlizes a partcle
beam of electrons to light up a specimen and
develop a well magnified image Electron
microscope produce higher and beter
resoluton than older light microscopes because
they can magnify objects up to a million tmes
while conventonal light microscopes can
magnify objects up to 1,500 tmes only
Atomic force
microscope
(AFM)
• It was first developed
by Gerd Binig, Calvin
Quate, and Christoph
Gerber in 1986. It
makes use of a
mechanical probe
that gathers
informaton from the
surface of material.
• This special type of microscope enables
Scanning Tunneli scientsts to view and manipulate nanoscale
Microscope partcles, atoms, and small molecules. In 1986,
Gerd Binig and Heinrich Rohrer won the Noble
Prize in Physics because of this inventon.
NANOTECHNOLOGIES
Nanomanufacturing
• It refers to scaled up, reliable, and cost-effectve
manufacturing of nanoscale materials, structures,
devices, and systems. It also involves research,
improvement, and incorporaton of processes for the
constructon of materials. Therefor, nanomanufacturing
leads to the development of new products and
improved materials. There are two fundamental
approaches to nanomanufacturing, either botom-up or
top-down.

Distinct Features of
Nanoscale
Nanotechnology involves operatng at a very small
dimension and it allows scientsts to make use of the
exceptonal optcal, chemical, physical, mechanical, and
biological qualites of materials of that small scale.
