•What is Nanotechnology

•Computer language

•More “dissecting” (in the other room)

Nanotechnology• the branch of engineering that deals with

things smaller than 100 nanometers

How big is a nanometer?

one-billionth of a meter

Hair100,000 nanometers wide.

A hair is more than 2000 times wider than a transistor on a microprocessor. Wires between transistors are even thinner. They're more than 4000 times thinner

than a hair.

100,000 nanometers wide.
