Nanotechnology….?• Nanotechnology is engineering at the
molecular (groups of atoms) level• It is the collective term for a range of
technologies, techniques and processes that involve the manipulation of matter at the smallest scale (from 1 to 100 nm2)
With 15,342 atoms, this parallel-shaft speed reducer gear is one of the largest nanomechanical devices
ever modeled

History of nanotechnology
In 1959 Richrad Feynman presented ideas for creating
Nano scale machines
Norio Taniguchi introduced the term
‘nanotechnology’
1980s, development in this field was greatly enhanced with
advances in electron microscopy
Approaches in nanotechnology
Top-down Approach
Creating Nano-scale materials by physically or chemically breaking down
larger materials
Bottom-up Approach
Assembling Nano materials atom-by-atom or molecule-by molecule
(self assembling)
Aspects of nanotechnology
Nano materials Nano powders - building blocks of nano materials
(particles less than 100 nm in size)
Porous metallic ‘nanocubes’
store large amounts of H2
Nanoparticles of gold fornew catalysts
The scale ofnanopowders

Carbon nanotubes (sensors, fuel cells, computers and televisions)
Nano membrane filtration systems (safe, clean, affordable water)
Molecular electronic ‘cross bar latches’ (tiny Nano devices)
Quantum dots and artificial atoms (small devices that contain a tiny droplet of free electrons)
