The Revolution of Technology

NanotechnologyThe Next Very Big (Small) Thing

)

• “The word itself is a combination of nano, from the Greek “nanos” (or Latin “nanus”),

• Nano refers to the 10-9 power, or one billionth. In these terms it refers to a meter, or a nanometer, which is on the scale of atomic diameters

Who Cares About

Nanotechnology

Should I...?

We All Should Care!– Because it can bring revolution in the current

industrialization and manufacturing processes.

Who Cares About Nanotechnology ?

DR.RICHARD FEYNMANN

• At first the term Nano technology was coined by the physist Richard Feynman in 1965.

• "The whole idea behind this is I want people to understand a little bit more about nanotechnology," Orfescu said. "I'm trying to make a parallel with the macro world --- the one we see with the naked eye."

NEED FOR NANO TECHNOLOGY?

• Allows the placement of small structures placed with precision ,simplicity and low cost

• Leads to economic growth • Enhances national security • Improves the quality of life• Leads to create jobs

APPLICATIONS OF NANO TECHNOLOGY

Carbon Nanotubes

Carbon Nanotubes:: This rotating picture is actually a model of carbon nanotube, the strongest and stiffest materials discovered till to date.

Medical Nanotechnology or Nano medicine

– Carbon Nanotubes could cause infection of lungs

– It has very high initial investment costs along with high manufacturing costs

– Atomic weapons could be more accessible and destructive

Disadvantages

Future of Nanotechnology

National Science and Technology Council (USA) claims that:“Nanotechnology is an enabling technology that will change the nature of almost every human-made object in the next century.”

Future Of Nanotechnology

CONCLUSION

• Nanotechnology helps to understand the world around us, and will provide inspiration and drive for many generations of scientists.

• Thus the future generation is going to continue the fantastic voyage with Nano technology in advanced level making life easier.
