 HISTORY
The idea of
nanotechnology was
born in December 29,
1959 when physicist
Richard Feynman gave a
lecture exploring the
idea of building
things at the atomic
and molecular scale. Richard Feynman.

What is Nanotechnology?
Greek English

Simply stated, it is the

nano


world of the very small =

things, such as
molecules and atoms.

what is nanotechnology?
 “Nanotechnology is the art and science
of
manipulating matter at the nanoscale”


 A nanometer is…
one billionth of a
meter


DNA Sample: Approx. 2 nm Human Hair: Approx. 1x10 5 nm

HOW SMALL IS NANOTECHNOLOGY ?
NEED FOR
NANOTECHNOLOGY ?
ü Allows the placement of small structures
placed with
precision,simplicity and low cost

ü Leads to economic growth

ü Enhances national security

ü Improves the quality of life

ü Leads to create jobs

 With NT, we can create
unique
materials and products which
are:

üStronger
üLighter
üCheaper
üDurable
üPrecise


üComputers can become a billion times faster

and a million times smaller

üAutomatic Pollution Cleanup


üManufacturing at almost no cost


üEnd of Illnesses (i.e. cancer, heart
disease)


üCNT’s are the alloptropes of carbon
with a cylindrical nanostructure.

üThese have been constructed with
length to diameter ratio upto
28,000,000:1.

DISADVANTAGES


ü Loss of jobs (in manufacturing, farming, etc)



ü Carbon Nanotubes could cause infection of

lungs


ü Oil & Diamonds could become worthless



ü Atomic weapons could be more accessible and

destructive
