INTRODUCTION
WHAT IS NANOTECHNOLOGY ?
APPROACHES OF NANOTECHNOLOGY:
TOP DOWN
BOTTOM UP
CONCEPTS OF NANOTECHNOLOGY:
POSITIONAL ASSEMBLY
SELF-REPLICATION
TOOLS OF NANOTECHNOLOGY:
The icons of this revolution are scanning probe microscopesthe
scanning tunneling microscope (STM) and the atomic force
microscope (AFM).
Both these machines have the ability to interact with materials at the
molecular level, although this is limited.
IN MACHINERY:
IN SPACE RESEARCH:
Nanostructuring is also critical to the design and manufacture
of lightweight, high-strength, thermally stable materials for
aircraft, rockets, space stations, and planetary/solar exploratory
platforms.
TRANSPORTATION:
DISADVANTAGES:
Any powerful technology can be used to do great harm as well as
great good. And Nanotechnology is no exception to it. The concerns
include:
ENVIRONMENTAL CONTAMINATION.
MUTATION.
RUNAWAY CONDITION.
WEAPONS.
SUGGESTIONS:
FOR PRIVATE SECTOR
FOR GOVERNMENT R&D LABORATORIES
FOR GOVERNMENT FUNDING AGENCIES
CONCLUSION:
