    THE

    NANOWORLD
    WHAT DOES "NANO" MEAN?

    Origin of the Term:


     The term "nano" comes from the Greek word "nanos,"
    meaning "dwarf."
    Measurement Scale:
     1 nanometer is one-billionth of a meter (10^-9 meters).
     This tiny scale is what defines the nano world and allows
    scientists to study and manipulate materials at the
    atomic and molecular level.
    WHAT IS NANOTECHNOLOGY?
     The science of manipulating materials on a nanometer
    scale.
     Used to build devices, systems, and materials with
    enhanced properties.
    NANOMATERIALS

    Definition:
    - Nanomaterials are materials that have structural
    components smaller than 100 nm.
    Types of Nanomaterials:
    1. Nanoparticles: Tiny particles that can improve drug
    delivery and enhance material properties.
    2. Nanotubes: Hollow tubes made of carbon atoms, used in
    electronics and materials science.
    3. Nanowires: Extremely thin wires that can be used in
    transistors and sensors.
    APPLICATIONS OF
    S NANOTECHNOLOGY
    Medicine
    Drug Delivery - Nanoparticles can deliver drugs directly to
    targeted cells, minimizing side effects.
    Diagnostics - Nano sensors can detect diseases at an early stage.
    Electronics:
    Transistors - Smaller, faster transistors enhance computer
    performance.
    Displays - Nanoscale materials improve the efficiency and quality
    of displays.
    Energy:
    Solar Cells - Nanotechnology can increase the efficiency of solar
    panels.
    Batteries - Nanoscale materials improve the capacity and
    charging speed of batteries.
    CHALLENGES AND CONCERNS

    Health and Safety:


    • Potential risks associated with exposure to
    nanomaterials, including unknown long-term effects on
    human health and the environment.
    Regulation:
    • The need for regulations to ensure the safe use of
    nanotechnology in products and manufacturing
    processes.
    Ethical Considerations:
    • Discussions on the ethical implications of manipulating
    materials at such a small scale.
