What is Nanotechnology?
Nanotechnology is a branch of science and engineering devoted to the design and production of extremely small electronic devices and circuits built from individual atoms and molecules.
Nanotechnology comprises any technological developments on the nanometer scale, usually 0.1-100nm.
Ethical Issues in Nanotechnology
Advantages
Reduced energy use
Better medical treatment
Lower costs for computing
Disadvantages
Environmental risks
Privacy risks
Social and political risks
Other Issues
When and how to regulate or not regulate the technological development?
How to address inevitable ethical challenges?
Effects of Nanotechnology over Wireless Communication (1)
The various effects of Nanotechnology over the Wireless Communication devices are classified by:
Wireless Technologies Advancements
Demand for Wireless Communication
Necessity for low-cost high-efficient system
Wireless Connectivity
Nanotechnology effect on Multimedia Market
Molecular Nanotechnology
Molecular nanotechnology ("MNT") is an anticipated manufacturing technology that would allow precise control and positional assembly of molecule-sized building blocks through the use of Nano-scale manipulator arms.
Nanotechnology was first introduced in 1959, in a talk by the Nobel Prize-winning physicist Richard Feynman, entitled "There's Plenty of Room at the Bottom".
Future Predictions of Nanotechnology
Earrings that become your cell phone by allowing listening amplification and location-focused microphones to interface with voice-activated technology.
Chips in your jacket, shirt, blouse, or pants that can be downloaded with your ID, allowing fast access to secure items.
Holographic lenses in eyeglasses that work like bifocals. While one hemisphere of the lens is unaffected, the other is connected to networks of information, providing the ultimate in virtual reality for users.
