Nanoscience Nanotechnology What is it?
What exactly is Nanoscience?What exactly is Nanotechnology?Are they Different? Vials of Quantum Dots NOTE: What follows is my view of these subjects
What is Nanotechnology? The Space Elevator? Ultra high strength materials allow tower to be built into space !(?)
What is Nanotechnology? Tiny machines in your body curing cancer?
What is Nanotechnology? DNA Computers in a beaker that vastly outperform our fastest supercomputers?
Well …. Sort of…. Not Really…. • Some of these amazing views of the future have a grain of reality in them • We’ll take a look at advances in • Materials science • Nanobiotech • Molecular computing

What is Nano?? • Nano refers to the scale of nanometers. • This is the scale of molecules, proteins, and other nano-objects that are the topics of this course.
How big is nano? • Nano means one billionth (x 10-9) • Written another way: x 0.000000001 • One nanometer equals 0.000000001 meters (or 0.000000003 feet)
One Nanometer H O H H N H N O O
One Nanometer Water (H20) DNA Small Protein

Atoms Molecules What is matter made of?
What are atoms ?How big are they?How well can we “see” them? • Atoms are roughly 2-5 Angstroms in dimension 2-5 * 10 -10 m ~ 1 Ǻ Take a millimeter and divide it into 1000 parts: micron 10-6 m Take one micron and divide it into 1000 parts: nanometer 10-9 m Take one nanometer and divide in 10 parts: angstrom 10-10 m
