  1. Nanotechnology Introduction Pre Reading Slides

  2. What is Nanotechnology? • Research and technology development at the atomic or molecular level, in the length scale of approximately 1 to 100 nanometer range (NNI Definition) • Provides a fundamental understanding of phenomena and materials at the nanoscale • The National Nanotechnology Initiative (NNI) is a federal R&D program established to coordinate the multi-agency efforts in nanoscale science, engineering, and technology.

  3. Understanding Size – 1 meter

  4. Understanding Size – 10 cm (10-1 m)

  5. Understanding Size – 1 cm (10-2m)

  6. Understanding Size – 100 μm(10-4m)

  7. Understanding Size – 10 μm(10-5m)

  8. Understanding Size– 1 μm(10-2 m)

  9. Understanding Size– 100 nm (10-7m)

  12. Nanotechnology Applications • Computing – increases in memory densities and processor speeds • Manufacturing– improved techniques for top-down and bottom-up nano-manufacturing • Top-Down : Conventional manufacturing processess at a reduced scale. • Bottom-Up: Making materials and products from the bottom-up, that is, by building them up from atoms and molecules. • Medical– biological applications include : DNA analysis and detection of HIV, diabetes, pregnancy,etc. Detect and treat cancerous cells by nano-engineered devices • Environmental – cleaning water and air to higher levels of purity • Removing the finest contaminants from water and air to promote a cleaner environment by nano-filtering • Energy– improving the efficiency of solar cells • Aerospace and defense – applications include detection of deadly agents such as saran gas (biochips for detection of hazardous chemical and biological agents)

  13. Implantable Sensors CardioMEMSmicrochip transmits blood flow and pressure wirelessly
