What is nanotechnology?
Nanotechnology is derived from the combination of
two words Nano and Technology. Nano means very
small or miniature. So, it is the technology in
miniature form.
It (sometimes shortened to "nanotech") is the study of
manipulating matter on an atomicandmolecular scale
One nanometer (nm) is one billionth, or 10 9, of a
meter.
It deals with structures sized between 1to 100

nanometer in at least one dimension, and involves
developing materials or devices within that size.
What happens at the

nanoscale?
At the nanoscale, the physical, chemical,

and biological properties of materials
differ in fundamental and valuable ways
from the properties of individual atoms
and molecules or bulk matter.
Nanotechnology R&D is directed toward

understanding and creating improved
materials, devices, and systems that
exploit these new properties.
Tools In Nanotechnology:The main tools used in nanotechnology are

three main microscopes: Atomic Force Microscope (AFM)
Scanning Tunneling Microscope (STM)
Transmission Electron Microscope (TEM)
Atomic Force Microscope :Creates 3D image.

Laser light from a
solid state diode is
reflected off the
back of the
cantilever .
It detects
cantilever
deflections <10nm
.
Scanning Tunneling
Microscope :A scanning
tunneling
microscope (STM) is
an instrument for
imaging surfaces at
the atomic level.
The STM is based
on the concept of
quantum tunneling.
Transmission Electron
Microscope :
TEM is a microscopy
technique where by a beam

of electrons is transmitted
through an thin specimen.
An image is formed from
the interaction of the
electrons transmitted
through the specimen.
Digital camera records
images.
Nanoparticles :
Quantum dots.
Colloidal gold.
Silver Nanoparticles .
Iron Nanoparticles.
(1) Quantum dots :-
(2) Silver nanoparticles:-
Approaches :
Top-down Breaking down matter

into more basic building blocks.
Frequently uses chemical or thermal
methods.
Bottoms-up Building complex

systems by
combining simple
atomic-level components.
Applications of
Nanotechnology:Medicine .
Nanoparticles in glass.
Nanofilms.
Textile.
Nanoelectronics.
Memory storage.
Water Filteration.
Benefits of
Nanotechnology:In the computer world,
nanotechnology is
important to the
development of small
computer circuits that can
reduced the size of
computers.
Future of Nanotechnology:Nanorobots .
Airborne Nanorobots.
In information technology industry the smallest
size of transistors on silicon microprocessors .
According to U.S. government's nanotechnology
initiative is to develop a memory device
approximately the size of a sugar cube capable
of storing all the information .
Within the next 25 years scientists inspired
computer software (artificial intelligence)
enabling materials to "think" for themselves.
Scientific breakthroughs that may

be enabled by nanotechnology
Engineer materials with atomic precision using biosystems as agents
Create circuits with logic element a molecule wide
Assemble DNA, nanocrystals to build molecular devices and systems
Detect toxins and contaminants in air, water, or soil with unprecedented speed
and accuracy
Single molecule behavior and interaction
Artificial genetic system
Conducting polymers
New concepts for large scale production of nanotubes, their use
Drug delivery systems
Detection of cancer
Current nanotech applications &

products
Nanomaterials, in general, used for

electronic, magnetic and optoelectronic,
biomedical, pharmaceutical, cosmetic,
energy, catalytic applications
Nanoparticles, in particular, used for

chemical-mechanical polishing, magnetic
recording tapes, sunscreens, automotive
catalysts, biolabeling, electroconductive
coatings and optical fibers
GGSNA Mission
Promote regional economic development by facilitating

commercialization of nanotechnology in and around New
Jersey
Identify capabilities and coordinate collaborations among

academia, industry, small business, government, investors
and service providers in the following market sectors:
Advanced, Functional & Smart Materials

Optoelectronics & Sensors
Telecommunications & Computing
Energy & Environment
Transportation
Defense & Homeland Security
Drug Discovery, Formulation & Delivery
Health Care & Medical Diagnostics
Medical Devices
Personal Care & Cosmetics
Food, Flavors & Fragrances
Conclusion :Nanotechnology has the potential to change every

part of our lives. It affects all materials like ceramics,
metals polymers and biomaterial . New materials are
the foundation of major technological advances.
In the coming decade it will have an enormous
impact. Future advances could change our
approaches to manufacturing electronics, IT and
communications
technology
making
previous
technology redundant and leading to applications
which could not have been developed or even
thought about, without this new approach.
