Questions
What is Nano?
A Nanometer is a unit of length in the metric system
equal to one-billion of a meter(10-9)
What is Technology?
Making, usage ,and knowledge of tools, machines and
techniques in order to solve a problem or perform a
specific function
The first ever concept was presented in 1959
by the famous professor of physics Dr.
RICHARD P.FEYNMAN .
Invention of the scanning tunneling
microscope in 1981 and the discovery of
fullerene (c60) in 1985 lead to the emergency
of nanotechnology .
The term Nano-technology had been coined
by NORIO TANIGACHI in 1974.
It refers to the constructing
and engineering of the
functional systems at very
micro level or we can say at
atomic level.
Disadvantages
Carbon nanotubes could cause infection of lungs.
Oil and diamonds could become worthless.
Atomic weapons could be more accessible and destructive.
Medical Science:
Enable drugs to be delivered to precisely the right location in the
body and release drug doses on a predetermined schedule for
optional treatment.
Electronics:
The transistors are made of Nanowires, that are assembled on glass
or thin films of flexible plastic
Fabrics:
In manufacturing bulletproof jackets and Making spill and dirt
resistant , anti microbial , anti bacterial fabrics
Defence: Develop covert Nanomaterials for the
tracking, labeling, and authentication of high value
