10. The function of iNANO

11. NANO is SMALL The Greek word nanos means dwarf
1 nanometer = 10-9 m = m
Nanobox
Nanoscience-Nanotechnologies can be defined as science and
engineering on the 100’s of nanometers scale and below
Størrelsesforholdet mellem en nanobox og en fodboldmer det samme som mellem fodbolden og jorden.
Størrelsesforholdet mellem 1 km og 1 mm er det samme som mellem 1 mm og 1 nm (faktor 1 mio.)
Nanoteknologien arbejder i området mellem 0,1 og hundrede af nanometer, ikke eksakt!

14. Interdisciplinary
Nanoscience is an interdisciplinary research area involving disciplines such as physics, chemistry, molecular biology, medicine and materials science.
To do research in before mentioned disciplines it is necessary to be interdisciplinary.
In nanoscience the boundaries between the classical disciplines are wiped out.
Interdisciplinary skills are increasingly demanding skills requested by the industry and research community.
