  1. What is Nanoscience?

  2. ? Nanobots Nanomedicine Nanostuff Nano Nano-Products stuff Nanoscience Nanometre Nanotechnology

  3. Nanobots Nanomedicine JARGON BUSTER Nano Nano-Products 3 WORDS! stuff Nanoscience Nanometre Nanotechnology

  4. Nanomedicine Nano: Nanobots Nanoscience A prefix that means very, very, small. Nano- Nano-Produ The word nano is from the Greek word ‘Nanos’ meaning Dwarf. It is a prefix used to describe "one billionth" of something, or 0.000000001. stuff Nanometre Nanotechnol

  5. Nanomedicine Nanoscience Nanobots Nanoscience A part of science that studies small stuff. Nano- Nano-Produ It’s not biology, physics or chemistry. It’s all sciences that work with the very small. stuff Nanometre Nanotechnol

  6. Nanomedicine Nanotechnology Nanobots Nanoscience The art and science of making useful stuff that does stuff on the nanometre length scale. Nano- Nano-Produ stuff Nanometre Includes advances in all industries, including the electronic, chemical, and pharmaceutical. Nanotechnol

  16. Top-down microelectronics Nanotechnology is the next step after miniaturisation. nanoelectronics

  17. Bottom-up Arranged one way, atoms make up soil, air and water. Arranged another way they make up strawberries or smoke. Ultimate Nanotechnology would be to build at the level of one atom at a time and to be able to do so with perfection.

  18. Nature’s Toy box. ATOMIC LEGO Molecular assembly is like a Lego set of 90 atoms that we can use to build anything from the bottom up! You just use every atom that you want. All of the elements in the periodic table can be mixed and matched,

  19. Nanoscience would probably be boring if small things were just like big things. But they aren’t. Pencil lead, for example takes on all sorts of shapes if kept from becoming a solid.

  20. When carbon is a pure solid it is found as graphite or diamond. On the nano scale. Carbon takes on very different structures.

  21. Size Matters • It’s not just how big you are • It’s what you can do with it
