What is Nanotechnology?
![Page 3: Nanotechnology: The Next Really Big Small Thing](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062801/5681438f550346895db00f02/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Science and technology on the scale of a nanometer--one billionth of a meter.
The ability to manipulate individual atoms and molecules, making it possible to build machines on the scale of human cells or create materials and structures from the bottom up with novel properties.
Capable of changing the way almost everything is designed and made: from computers to clothing; from sports equipment to space ships and satellites; from cars to cancer therapies; from bridges to paint; and even objects and devices not yet imagined.
Nanotechnology is…

How Small Is The Nano Scale?
A human hair is 50,000 – 80,000 nanometers wide
and grows ~10 nm every second (~600 nm every minute)

Who Cares About Nanotechnology?
Other than First Lego Leaguers,
of course.

Nanotechnology in Sports EquipmentTENNIS RACKETS, GOLF CLUBS, BASEBALL and
SOFTBALL BATS- all made with high strength, lightweight plastic composites that contain Carbon Nanotubes
Carbon nanotubes are strongerthan steel, lighter than feathers,conducting or semi-conducting,great thermal conductors, and
radiation hard

Nanotechnology in Electronics
March 20, 2006
Applied Nanotech has signed a letter of intent to enter negotiations for a trial on CARBON NANOTUBE TVs with Da Ling, a Taiwanese contract manufacturer.
Under the proposed terms, Da Ling will invest $10 million on a pilot manufacturing facility to make carbon nanotube TVs based on Applied's technology. In these TVs, nanotubes shoot electrons at a screen to create a picture. Functionally, they are similar to traditional CRT (cathode-ray tube) televisions, which still provide the best picture, but are slim, like LCD (liquid crystal display) or plasma televisions.

Nanotechnology in Electronics
The next generation of CELL PHONES will utilize carbon nanotube technologies
The radio-frequency amplifiers used in cell phones are hot tungsten filaments, typically with power efficiencies of just 10 percent. They waste a lot of battery power.
Arrays of carbon nanotubes grown on silicon plates could replace radio-frequency amplifiers at a fraction of the power requirements.

Nanotechnology in Soccer Balls?
A Soccer Ball is a perfect model for a
molecule called Fullerene. Fullerenes
are all-carbon molecules and an
important component of nanotechnology.

Nanotechnologies in Bed Sheets and Footware!
ICE CREAM and SLIPPERS both benefit from NANOPARTICLES
Nanoparticles are particles that are only few nanometers in diameter. They do not behave like atoms (which are governed by quantum mechanics) and they do not behave like macroscopic materials (which are governed by Newtonian mechanics). They exist in the strange world between these extremes.
