1. Nanotechnology

2. What is it ?
Nanotechnology is a field of applied science which deals with controlling matter on a nanoscale
Nanotechnology can measure from 1 – 100 nanometers
It’s the study of manipulating matter nearly at the atomic scale.
1 nanometer is one billionth of meter 10-9m
A cross section of a human hair is 100,000nm Au Mm

3. What is it?
Nanotechnology follows the rules of Quantum Physics. In simple words, nanotechnology often contradicts common sense.
Humans are incapable of teleporting from one side of a wall to the other, but on the nanoscale, it is possible for an electron to teleport. This process is called electron tunnelling.

5. How is it used? Carbon nanotubes – made of arrangement of carbon atoms
Made from Carbon sheets
Properties depend on how the sheet is rolled
Nanowires- a tube with a diameter of one nanometer
Used as transistor in computer chips and other electronic devices

6. Carbon tubes
Depending on the way that the carbon tube is rolled, the behavior is also different. A certain pattern could cause something to be as strong as diamond, or as weak as graphite.

8. Nano Robots
Nanorobotic – is the technology of creating robot to the scale of Microscopic scale of nanometers (10^-9).

9. Cancer Treatments?
Cancerous cells can be killed without the use of painful chemotherapy
Quantum Dots last much longer than conventional dyes
Scientists may now be able to destroy tumours without damaging healthy cells
Nanobots could destroy dangerous cells and can replicate to produce promote healthy division

10. Space Exploration
Travelling to distant planets requires 100,000’s of years of travel
Impractical if humans travelled
Difficult for single robots to explore
With nanotechnology, mechanical replication would be made possible
Armies of robots could explore the nebulas

11. Nano Foods? Preservation of food without refrigeration
Protection of food from diseases

12. Impact On Everyday Life
Is the second greatest impact, trailing only to genetic engineering

13. Other Applications
Now nanotechnology is still an advancing science. What we learnt in grade 12 physics about quantum mechanics plays a huge role in working with nanotechnology
New types of water proof jackets
Nano sized wires which would help make very tiny microprocessors

14. Application Medicine Tissue Engineering
Aerospace ( stronger material )
(for more already made products of nanotechnology)
