What is Nanotechnology
www.nasa.gov
Nanotechnology is the creation of functional materials, devices and systems, through the understanding and control of matter at dimensions in the nanometer scale length (1-100 nm), where new functionalities and properties of matter are observed and harnessed for a broad range of applications

NANO CIRCUITRY
NANO CICUITRY DEALS WITH THE MINIMIZATION OF CIRCUITS OF NANO SIZE TO NANO SCALE. IT HELPS THE SCIENTISTS AND ENGINEERS IN REDUCTION OF THE SIZE OF COMPUTERS AND OTHER ELECTRONIC DEVICES. THE AGE OF NANO CIRCUITRY BEGINS WITH THE INVENTION OF NANO TRANSISTORS AND ULTRA CAPACITORS
ULTRA-CAPACITORS
CAPACITORS ARE ENERGY SAVING DEVICES.
CARBON NANOTUBES
CARBON NANOTUBS ARE THE BASIC BUILDING BLOCKS OF NANOCIRCUITS. THEY ARE COMPOSED OF C-40 ATOMS. THEY ARE PATENTED BY IBM.

NANO TRANSISTORS
TRANSISTORS ARE THE DEVICES THAT FORM THE INTEGRAL PART OF THE CIRCUIT. TRANSISTORS CONVERT THE WEAK SIGNALS INTO STRONGER SIGNALS.
TO CONVERT THE TRANSISTORS TO NANO-SCALE WE ARE IN NEED OF SWITCH ONTO CARBON BASE INSTEAD OF SILICON.
11
Memristor logic devices are quite smaller than devices made from transistors, enabling packing more computing power into a given space. Memristor arrays performing both logic and memory functions would eliminate transferring data between a processor and a hard drive in future.
12
Nanorobots
In the field of molecular computing and robotics, researches in Caltech, USA, have created robots the size of molecules that can move freely across nano scale track. The achievement would lead molecular robots to fix individual cells or assemble nano products.
13
MOORES LAW
MOORES LAW STATES THAT, THE SPEED OF COMPUTER WILL BE DOUBLED IN EVERY 18 TO 24 MONTHS. THIS IS MADE POSSIBLE BY INCREASING THE NUMBER OF TRANSISTORS INTO A CIRCUIT. AND THE LATEST CONTRIBUTION TO IT IS NANO TRANSISTORS.

RISKS:
The electronics scientists need to develop new circuits to cope with nano circuits working with carbon nano tubes The transistors will be 100 times smaller than thickness of human hair so it is difficult to identify the problems in it . The ultra capacitors produces high heat, till today there is no remedy given to cool it.

Nokia Morph is a theoretical future device based on NANOTECHNOLOGY that might enable future communication devices.
Morph
also demonstrates how future mobile devices might be stretchable, flexible, transparent and self cleaning.
24
The concept of Morph was unveiled on February 25, 2008 at the Museum of Mordern Art (Design and the Elastic Mind Exhibition) in New York City.
A product of a joint study into the future of mobile phones by the NOKIA RESEARCH CENTER and the UNIVERSITY of CAMBRIDGEs NANOSCIENCE CENTRE.
It demonstrates that, nanotechnology might be capable of delivering: flexible materials, transparent electronics and self-cleaning surfaces that could be used to make Nokia Morph.

Features Of Morph
Spider-Silk Transparent-Electronics Haptic-Surface Wearable-Device Recycling Sensing Nanoscale Grass Self-cleaning Stretchable
26
SENSING
Morph enables us to observe our local environment.

NANOSCALE-GRASS
28
SELF-CLEANING
NANOTECHNOLOGY ALSO CAN BE LEVERAGED TO CREATE SELF-CLEANING SURFACES ON MOBILE DEVICES, ULTIMATELY REDUCES CORROSION, WEAR AND IMPROVING LONGEVITY.
NANOSTRUCTURED SUUFACES SUCH AS NANOFLOWERS NATURALLY REPELL WATER, DIRT, AND EVEN FINGERPRINTS. 29
STRETCHABLE
A FOLDED DESIGN WOULD FIT EASILY IN A POCKET AND AN UNFOLDED LARGER DESIGN COULD DISPLAY MORE DETAILED INFORMATION, AND INCORPORATE INPUT DEVICES SUCH AS KEYBOARDS AND TOUCHPADS.

RECYCLING
UTILIZATION OF BIODEGREDABLE MATERIALS MIGHT MAKE PRODUCTION AND RECYCLING OF DEVICES EASIER AND ECOLOGICAL FRIENDLY.
34
ADVANTAGES
UTILIZATION OF BIODEGRADABLE MATERIALS MIGHT MAKE PRODUCTION AND RECYCLING OF DEVICES EASIER AND ECOLOGICALLY FRENDLY.
LOW POWER COST DUE TO BUILT-IN SOLAR ABSORPTION THAT MIGHT CHARGE THE DEVICE MAKING BATTERIES SMALLER, LONGER LASTING AND FASTER TO CHARGE AND HENCE MAKING THE PHONE LESS BULKY.
HELPS TO LEARN MORE ABOUT THE ENVIRONMENT AROUND US, EMPOWERING US TO MAKE BETTER CHOICES.
35
DISADVANTAGES
DUE TO THE GRANULAR STRUCTURE,NANO PARTICLES CAN GO UNNOTICED ON A PERSONS HAN, BUT THE RISK OF INHALING THIS COULD BE VERY DANGEROUS. THIS CAN DULY BE A CAUSE OF DEATH. LACK OF A RELIABLE POWER SOURCE: NOKIA IS STILL SEARCHING NEW BATTERY MATERIALS TO POWER THE Morph. This is a significant technical drawback.
Overpriced.
