What is Meant By “Nano” in Nanotechnology?

In Greek, “nano” is meant by “dwarf”. It is generally one billionth of a meter. 1 nm=10-9 m.In the world of nanotechnology, matter is measured in nanometer scale.

What is Meant By Nanotechnology?

• The branch of technology which deals with the manipulation of atoms and molecules in the nanoscale level.

The disadvantages of electronic devices are

Physical size is more.The fabrication cost of integrated circuits are more.

Why Electronics Need Nanotechnology?

Future of Nanoscience• Nanotechnology

is used in electronics

• Nanotechnology is used in wireless devices

• Nanotechnology is used in molecular devices

Nanoelectronics

The future of mobile devices are flexible electronicsIn the near future, Graphene, a carbon allotroph, will play a dominant role in flexible electronics.Graphene has great strength and electrical conductivity.

Nanotechnology can provide solutions to the various problems faced in the wireless industry. Within few years, micro sensors made of nanostructures will be an important part of our daily life. Nanosensors are used in several industries including communications, safety, security and military operations.

Nanotechnology used in Wireless Devices

Effect of nanotechnology in mobile phone

• In the near future, the memory storage capacity of mobile phones will be increased to a very high level by the use of nanotechnology. Then tera bytes and peta bytes of data storage can be possible.

Nanotechnology Used in Molecular Devices

• In this era, reduction in the size of electronic devices is the need of the day.

• It can be done with the help of molecules which are used in active devices.

• Between two crossings of micro-scale wires, several molecules can be sandwitched. By this arrangement, large spacings can be saved.

Last Words

• In the miniaturization of ICs, nanotechnology can be immensely used.

• In the enhancement of mobile devices, nanotechnology can be a great promise.

• In the world of electronics, flexibility is a major breakthrough.
