1)

The term Nano indicates one billionth. Nanotechnology draws its name from the scale at which the technology operates. Technically, it is the study of control of matter at atomic or subatomic level. The term Nanotechnology was coined by a Tokyo University Professor, Norio Taniguchi.

He mainly based his concept on a) Processing b) Separation c) Consolidation d) Deformation of materials by one atom.

NANOPARTICLES :

It is a microscopic particle with atleast one dimension less than 100nm. Its an effective bridge between the bulk materials and atomic structure.

 Nanomaterials

is a field that deals with study of morphological features & properties of material at nanoscale.

Classified

into 2 categories :

a) Fullerenes b) Inorganic Nanoparticles

APPLICATIONS

1.)MEDICINE
Drug delivery system Disease diagnosis and prevention Tissue reconstruction Medical tools

To deliver the drugs Nanorobots are used, also called as nanobots.

Quantum Dots used to diagnosis of diseases such as tumors and cancer cells.

Heart Attack Prevention

PREVENTING DISEASES

Frying Tumors by using nanoparticles

Stronger Lighter Cheaper Durable Precise

Global monetary crisis Loss of jobs Oil becomes worthless Diamonds become worthless Atomic weapons more destructive and accessible.

FUTURE OF NANOTECHNOLOGY

 Replicators

Molecular

manufacturing

Positive

impact on the environment.

Airborne nanorobots to rebuild the thinning ozone layer. Nanorobots to remove contaminants from water sources and clean up oil spills.

Nanotechnology > Large numbers of products that are

incredibly powerful.

Both Opportunity & Risk.

Risk Minimization is not simple.

Excessive restriction creates black markets.

Selecting the proper level of restriction A difficult challenge.
