F Nanotechnology‚ the science of the extremely tiny as commonly known (one nanometer is one-billionth of metre)‚ is an important emerging industry which is thought to reach a market of one trillion US dollars by 2015. It involves the understanding and control of atoms and molecules to create new materials with a variety of useful functions. It is the understanding and control of matter at the sphere of 1 to 100 nanometers (a sheet of paper is about 100‚000 nanometers thick). Nanotechnology is a

NANOTECHNOLOGY 1. ABSTRACT: Nanotechnology as the name suggests is derived from two words-nano meaning small and technology meaning the science and engineering so it may be defined as the science and engineering at scale of atoms and molecules. Nanotechnology involves materials so small (1 to 100 nanometers in size) that they exhibit unique properties. The goal of nanotechnology research is to understand unique properties of nanosized particles and use that knowledge to create new‚ high performance

1. NANOTECHNOLOGY: AN OVERVIEW Nanotechnology is the manipulation of matter on the nanoscale. A nanometer is a very small measure of length-it is one billionth of a meter‚ a length so small that only three or four atoms lined up in a row would be a nanometer. So‚ nanotechnology involves designing and building materials and devices where the basic structure of the material or device is specified on the scale of one or a few nanometers. Ultimately‚ nanotechnology will mean materials and devices

Nanotechnology does not have to be as small as atoms or molecules‚ but it is much smaller than anything you can see with your naked eye. Many materials exhibit unusual and useful properties when their size is reduced. Researchers who try to understand the fundamentals of these size-dependent properties call their work nanoscience‚ while those focusing on how to effectively use the properties call their work nanoengineering.

INTRODUCTION Nanotechnology has potential applications in many sectors of the American economy‚ including consumer products‚ health care‚ transportation‚ energy and agriculture. In addition‚ nanotechnology presents new opportunities to improve how we measure‚ monitor‚ manage‚ and minimize contaminants in the environment. While the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA‚ or “the Agency”) is interested in researching and developing the possible benefits of nanotechnology‚ EPA also has the

Nanotechnology Nanotechnology is actually a fairly new idea. This may not seem like any big deal in terms of ethics‚ but just like any type of scientific advancement there are positives and negatives. Of course the ethical issues don’t stem out of just the fact that this is a new kind of science. It branches off of "what will this new scientific technology be used for?" For example‚ Embryonic Stem Cell research. It’s not the research that’s bad it’s how they get the cells. There are half

Nanotechnology in Medicine When thinking of Nanotechnology one could think of the movie G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra. In the movie Cobra steals nanotech warheads and attacks the Eiffel Tower and it is destroyed by molecule sized machines in a matter of minutes. At this point in time nanotechnology is nowhere near this far along. Nanotechnology of today is about manipulating different types of matter on a molecular scale thus making them stronger and more durable (Williamson‚ Kenneth D. New Products)

What would it be like to observe the vibration of molecules as the temperature rises in a pan of water? To observe sodium and chlorine atoms as they get close enough to actually transfer electrons and form a salt crystal? New scientific tools‚ developed
