History of NANO
• Tools 2,000,000 B.C.
• Metallurgy 3600 B.C.
• Steam power 1764
• Mass production 1908
• Automation 1946
• Sixth industrial revolution NOW
– Moving from micrometer scale to nanometer
scale devices
Milestone
- Basically,sheets of graphite
rolled up
into a tube as shown figure.
• Important because
location of mutations
influence the effects
they have on the cell.
Quantum Dots
• Tiny crystals that glow when they are stimulated
by ultraviolet light.
• Color of glow dependent on size.
• Create latex beads designed to bind to specific
DNA sequences. Quantum dots within the
beads can be used to identify specific regions of
DNA.
• Diversity allows creation of many unique “dot
labels” for DNA sequences.
• Useful because cancer often results from
accumulation of many different changes in cells.
Cancer Treatment
• Nanotechnology may allow treatments that
target cancer cells without harming nearby
healthy cells.
• Major Benefits
– The major benefits of molecular electronics are a
dramatic reduction in size and power consumption.
Computational Science in NM
• Computational Science comes in to
develop tools for modeling and designing
nanoscale systems.
• The development of a range of
computational tools, integrated with each
other, easily used and widely available to
industry, is the goal of the Nanomaterials
researchers
Why Computational?
