NANOTECHNOLOGY- THE POWER IN 10-9
[attachment=30927]
WHAT EXACTLY IS NANO TECHNOLOGY?
Field of applied science focussed on design, synthesis and application of materials on NANO scale.
The goal is to manipulate atoms individually and place them in a pattern to produce desired structures.
Materials reduced to nanoscale can suddenly show very different properties compared to their macroscopic counterparts enabling unique applications.
HOW IT WORKS?
Some nanoparticles self assemble while others use scanning probe microscopy.
Two main approaches for building nanoparticles are:
(1) bottom-up approach where materials and devices are build atom by atom.
(2) top-down approach where they are synthesized by removing existing materials from larger entities.
NANOTECHNOLOGY- FROM LABS INTO OUR LIVES!!!
Smart clothing: Finest textile fibres with sensors,computers and motors embedded.
Smart furniture: Fitted with micro-chips that change depending on body posture.
Cool cosmetics: Made of colloidal nanoparticles with excellent absorbent qualities.
Purifying the elixir: Removal of micro to nanoscale contaminants from water, including pathogens.
Famines almost eradicated: Replicate anything you want,even food!!
NANOWONDERS- AIDING PERPETUAL ENERGY FLOW!!
Nanocrystal applications: Ultra high purity Si nanoparticles used in new forms of solar cells.
SOFCs,small and cheap: Solid Oxide Fuel Cells made of nanoparticles and nanopowders.
High efficiency energy storage devices: made from Li batteriesand nanostructured materials.
NANOTECHNOLOGY- EAGERLY AWAITED!!!
NANOPHOTONICS: cost-effective communication by replacing expensive optical devices by optoelectronic ones.
DISPLAY TECHNOLOGY: flat panels with wider viewing angle,low driving voltage and high illumination.
INTELLIGENT MATERIALS: solar panels,anti-corossion coatings,longer lasting medical devices and photocatalytic air purifiers.
NANOTECHNOLOGY- THE HEALING TOUCH!!
Programmed nanorobots working wonders inside body.
Smart drug delivery: using reverse micelle based process.
Surgery and no scars: nanosurgeons operating at a level 1000 times more precise than the sharpest scalpels.
Steroids,now avoid: using nanoparticles encapsulating non steroidal drugs.
BIOTECHNOLOGY- NANO IS THE ANSWER!!
Application of self-assembly model in synthesis of nucleic acids,lipids,proteins and cell membranes.
Biomimmetics and cosmetic surgery: nanorobots synthesizing artificial sensory components.
Nano in conjunction with molecular biology: in MRI developers,genetic therapy etc.
