What is Nanotech?

NanoTechnology – Art and science of manipulating atoms and

molecules to create new systems, materials, and devices.

Nanomeasurement – Size

Nanomanipulation – Building from the bottom up.

 Size Matters

How Big is a Nano?

– Nano = 1 billionth;100,000
x’s smaller than the
diameter of a human hair.
Examples of Nanoscale
– A cubic micron of water
contains about 90 billion
atoms. A micron is one
thousandth of a millimeter,
and a thousand times
larger than a nanometer.
– Another way to visualize a
nanometer:
1 inch = 25,400,000
nanometers

 Disruptive Apps - Materials

 Fiber that is stronger than spider web

 Metal 100 x’s stronger than steel, 1/6 weight
 Catalysts that respond more quickly and to more agents
 Plastics that conduct electricity
 Coatings that are nearly frictionless –(Shipping Industry)
 Materials that change color and transparency on demand.
 Materials that are self repairing, self cleaning, and never need
repainting.
 Nanoscale powders that are five times as light as plastic but
provide the same radiation protection as metal.

 Disruptive Apps - Energy

 Fuel cell technology becomes cost effective

within 3 years.
 Batteries that store more energy and are
much more efficient
 Plastics and paints that will store solar power
and convert to energy for $1 per watt.

 Disruptive Apps - Computing

 Silicon is hitting its size limit, Moore’s law

reaches maximum in 2007
 SuperChips –Combination of Silicon and
Galium Arsenide create wireless chips
 Plastic semiconductors manufactured by
regular printing devices – cheaply produced.
 Electronic Paper

 Disruptive Apps – Bio Medicine

 Cosmetics that can penetrate the skin

 Cures for Aids, Cancers, Alzheimer's, Diabetes
 Ability to view cells In vivo - Fast Drug Creation
 Nanomaterials that can see inside vessels for plaque
buildup
 Technology that can re-grow bone and organs
 NanoSensors for disease detection – 10x’s faster
and 100,000 x’s more accurate
 Nanofilters will help create impurity free drugs.
