Presentation Transcript

  1. nanomanufacturing • A sizable library of nanoscale "building blocks" has been developed over the last couple of decades. • These nanostructures — particles, disks, rods - are frequently synthesized in solution. • One of the main challenges in nanomanufacturing is to place these solution-based nanoparticles at precise locations on a substrate with nanometer control. • Once the interactions are understood, researchers can then design processes to assemble macro scale objects from nanoscale components. • http://cnst.nist.gov/nanofab_res/Projects/NDSA/images/OTMmovie.avi

  2. Fluidic self assembly • Programmable matter, a substance that is able to change its physical properties as directed by the user. • Imagine a system that assembles a pile of regular, mass-produced components into an iPod, computer, robot, or tool with embedded sensing and computation. • Objects can be assembled or repaired ‘on-the-fly’, and deconstructed to be recycled into new objects when they are no longer needed. • This technology would open up new possibilities for rapid prototyping, space exploration, sustainable technology, and evolutionary design. • Cornell Universities’ approach to programmable matter involves the assembly of components with embedded electronics by manipulating the flow of fluid through an assembly chamber • http://ccsl.mae.cornell.edu/research/microassem/CUAssembly.wmv

  3. Radio frequency identification device • http://www.gs1uk.org/RFID/RFID.asp RFID tag as used by Wallmart

  4. What next • Using your text book draw out a table highlighting possible uses for nanotechnology, including Fluidic Self-assembly. • Explain possible applications for an RFID tag and reasons for its use.
