History of Nanotechnology
The amount of space available to us for information storage (or other uses) is enormous. As first
described in a lecture titled, 'There's Plenty of Room at the Bottom' in 1959 by Richard P.
Feynman, there is nothing besides our clumsy size that keeps us from using this space. In his time,
it was not possible for us to manipulate single atoms or molecules because they were far too small
for our tools.
He described how the laws of physics do not limit our ability to manipulate single atoms and
molecules. Feynman explored the possibility of manipulating the materials at a scale of individual
atoms and molecules, imagining the whole of the encyclopedia Britannica written on the head of
the pin.
Prof. Feynman described such atomic scale fabrication as a bottom-up approach, as opposed to
the top-down approach that we are accustomed to.
Bottom-up manufacturing :- On the other hand, would provide components made of single
molecules, which are held together by covalent forces that are far stronger than the forces that hold
together macro-scale components. Further more, the amount of information that could be stored
in devices build from the bottom up would be enormous
Introduction to
Nanotechnology
The prefix nano is derived from the Greek word for dwarf.
One nanometer (nm) is equal to one-billionth of a
meter, 10-9 m.
A human hair is approximately 80,000nm wide, and a red
blood cell approximately 7000nm wide. Atoms are below a
nanometer in size. A nanometer-sized particle is also smaller
than living cell and can be seen only with the most powerful
microscope available today.
Nanotechnology is the technology of preference to make
things small, light and cheap, nanotechnology based
manufacturing is a method conceived for processing and
rearranging of atoms to fabricate custom products .if we
rearrange the atoms in coal, we can get diamond. If we
rearrange atoms of sand we can make computer chips etc.
The original definition this technology that is built from single
atoms and which depends on individual atoms for function.

Nanoelectronics
The first integrated circuit in 1970 chips have become smaller, faster and
more capable. Computer chips consist of "field-effect transistors" (FETs)
that form the active circuits on most chips become smaller and smaller
they begin to come up with certain problems.
In the computer-chip world, then, nanotech will be characterized by new
types of transistor (such as the "single-electron transistor" or SET)
and new types of semiconductor device (such as quantum-well and

Carbon Nanotubes
Carbon
Nanotubes
are
hexagonally
shaped
arrangements of carbon atoms
that have been rolled into
tubes. These tiny straw-like
cylinders of pure carbon have
useful electrical properties.
They have already been used
to make tiny transistors and
one-dimensional copper wire.
