  1. American Chemical Society NCW 2012 Nanotechnology: The Smallest BIG Idea in Science! Your Name Your Affiliation Location or type of presentation Date of presentation

  2. what is nanotechnology?And Why is it such a Big Idea?

  3. Nanotechnology: Small, Different, New • The nanometer is extremely small. • At the nanometer scale, materials may behave differently. • We can harness this new behavior to make new technologies.

  4. Nanometer:Part of The Metric System

  5. Nanometer:Part of The Metric System

  6. A Nanometer is Extremely Small.In the time it takes to read this sentence, your fingernails will have grown approximately one nanometer (1 nm) in length. American Chemical Society

  7. A Nanometer is Extremely Small:If you could paint a gallon of paint one nanometer thick, how much area would it cover? ? American Chemical Society

  8. A Nanometer is Extremely Small:If you could paint a gallon of paint one nanometer thick, how much area would it cover? A square 1.2 x 1.2 miles or 936 acres! That is almost 1,000 football fields. American Chemical Society

  9. At the nanometer scale, materials may behave differently. Some of the Characteristics that can change: Color Melting point Strength Conductivity Reactivity
