What is Nanotechnology..??
. Art and science of manipulating atoms and molecules to create new systems, materials, and devices.
Size Matters*How Big…?
* One nanometre (nm) is one billionth, or 10−9, of a meter.
* 1 inch = 25,400,000 nanometers.
HISTORY OF NANOTECHNOLOGYFounded by Physicist Richard Feynman in 1959.
Inspired by Feynman's concepts K. Eric Drexler used the term "nanotechnology" in his 1986 book Engines of Creation: The Coming Era of Nanotechnology, which proposed the idea of a nanotechnology.

•Applications
Nanotechnology has given rise to many influential materials which are very useful, such
as CNTs, fullerenes.
Medical applications : Cancer Treatment.
Nanotechnology is being used in the sports industry to allow tennis ball to last longer more
durable and harder.
Nanotechnology in sports
Applications Contd.
Cars are being manufactured with nanotechnology aid so that less amount of metal
and lesser fuels are required.
* Scientist are now trying to develop new diesel engines with cleaner exhaust fumes, Platinum is
the material being used for the same.
Applications of Nanotechnology
Current Applications :
Burn and wound dressings, water filtration devices, paints, cosmetics, coatings, lubricants, textiles, memory/storage devices.
Medical diagnostics, displays, sensors, drug delivery, composite materials, solid state lighting, bio-materials, more powerful computers, protective armor, bio suits, and sensors.
Applied Nanotechnology –
Examples of Current Research and Applications
Materials Science
Powders, Coatings, Carbon Nano-Materials,C-fabrics.
Energy Solar Power and Photovoltaic cells, Hydrogen Fuel Cells, LED White Light
Genomics, Proteomics, Lab on a Chip, CNT’s, Bucky Balls
Electronics MRAM, NRAM, Q-Dots, Q-Bits
Devices Lithography, Dip Pen Lithography, AFM, MEMS
Current Research :-Positional molecular
assembly : An experiment indicating that
positional molecular assembly is possible was performed by Ho and Lee at Cornell University in 1999.
** They used a STM to move an individual carbon monoxide
molecule (CO) to an individual iron atom (Fe) sitting on a flat silver
crystal, and chemically bound the CO to the Fe by applying a voltage.
DNA Tetrahedron
This DNA tetrahedron is an artificially designed nanostructure
of the type made in the field of DNA Nanotechnology.
Future Applications
2011-15 -- biomaterials, microprocessors, new catalysts, portable energy cells, solar cells, tissue/organ regeneration, smart implants.
2016 and beyond – molecular circuitry, quantum computing, new materials, fast chemical analyses.
Health and Environmental Concerns
Nanofibers are used in several areas and in different products, in everything from aircraft wings to tennis rackets. Inhaling airborne nanoparticles and nanofibers may lead to a number of pulmonary diseases, e.g. fibrosis.Researchers have found that when rats breathed in nanoparticles, the particles settled in the brain and lungs, which led to significant increases in biomarkers for inflammation and stress response and that nanoparticles induce skin aging through oxidative stress in hairless mice.
Nanotechnology & Nature : The
Lotus Leaf Effect..!!.
.
Living things are built on hidden nanotechnology components, but sometimes that technology achieves remarkable things in very visible way.
.
Nanostructures provide the surface which lets water droplets roll down the inclined plane.
The Lotus Leaf Effect refers to self cleaning properties that are a result of very high water repellence, exhibited by leaves of lotus flower.
contd.;
Dirt particles are picked up by water droplets due to architecture on the surface, which minimizes the adhesion of droplet to that surface.
.
Because of the shape of the surface pimples on the leaf particles of dirt do not stick to the surface well, but instead are likely to stick to the rolling droplets and be carried away.The size of the pimples is approx. 20,000 nanometres small.

Advantages of Nanotechnology
Manufacturing Advantages:Nanotechnology is already making new
materials available that could revolutionize many areas of manufacturing. For example,
CNTs and fabrics.
Energy Advantages:
Nanotechnology may transform the ways in which we obtain and use energy. In particular, it's likely that nanotechnology will make solar power more economical by reducing the cost of constructing
solar panels and related equipment. Energy storage devices will become more efficient as a
result.
Environmental Advantages:
• It is possible, however, that there will be some negative effects on the environment as potential
new toxins and pollutants may be created by nanotechnology.
Security:
Nanotechnology raises the possibility of microscopic recording devices, which would be
virtually undetectable.
Medical Advantages:
Nanotechnology has the potential to bring major advances in medicine. N-bots could be sent into a patient's arteries to clear away blockages. Surgeries could become much faster and more accurate. Injuries could be repaired cell-by-cell.
Nanotechnology Goals:
science and engineering:The nanometre scale is expected to become a
highly efficient length
scale for manufacturing. Once it is developed it provides better understanding and
engineering develops the tools. Materials with high performance, unique
properties and functions will be produced that traditional chemistry could not create.
Improved Healthcare:
Nanotechnology will help prolong life, improve its quality, and
extend human physical capabilities.
Transportation:
Nanotechnology will yield lighter, faster, and safer
vehicles and more durable, reliable, and cost-effective roads, bridges, runways,
pipelines, and rail systems. Nanotechnology-enabled aerospace products alone are
projected to have an annual market value of about $70 billion in ten years.
Sustainability:
Nanotechnology will improve agricultural yields for an increased population, provide more economical water filtration and desalination, and enable renewable energy sources such as highly efficient solar energy conversion; it will reduce the need for scarce material resources and diminish pollution for a cleaner environment.
Welcome to the…Future..!!
In next 10 to 15 years, projections indicate that nanotechnology-based lighting advances have the potential to reduce worldwide consumption of energy by more than 10%, reflecting a savings of $100 billion dollars per year and a corresponding reduction of 200 million tons of carbon emissions.
Contd.
Catalysts produced via Nanotechnology have applications in the petroleum and chemical processing industries, with an estimated annual impact of $100 billion in 10 to 15 years (assuming a historical rate of increase of about 10% from $30 billion in 1999.
Contd.
About half of all production will be dependent on nanotechnology affecting over $180 billion per year in 10 to 15 years.
Contd.
Materials and processes are estimated to increase their market impact to about $340 billion per year in the next 10 years with the aid of Nanotechnology.
Summary..!!
In the end I can only say that, implications of Nanotechnology in materials, physics, chemistry, and biology create opportunities that will accelerate the pace of fundamental research in science and engineering, creating the knowledge needed to enable technological innovation, training the workforce needed to exploit that knowledge, and providing the manufacturing science base needed for future commercial production.
.
Potential breakthroughs are possible in areas such as materials and manufacturing, medicine and healthcare, environment and energy, biotechnology and agriculture, electronics and information technology, and national security.
.
The effect of nanotechnology on the health, wealth, and standard of living for
people in this century could be at least as significant as the combined influences of
microelectronics, medical imaging, computer-aided engineering, and man-made polymers
developed in the past century.
