Will it be good for humanity or not?

Lets discuss first molecular
nanotechnology

Products of Molecular Nanotechnology (MNT)
and its capability to Remediation of Existing
Environmental problems 
 MNT for

CFCs
(chlorofluorocarbons) and
halons are most threating
to the ozone layers

ODS (ozone-depleting substances)

reservoir in the stratosphere by solar
powered airborne metal nano-bots to
reduce ozone depletion.

You may think this as
something as Science
Fiction but quickly fiction
is becoming reality all
around us. Ray Kurzweil
Google's Engineering
Director believes that by
the 2030s Nano-
machines will flow
through our bodies
repairing our DNA and
Cells, disease and aging
will be a thing of the past
when this finally
happens, it seems we
will have to wait for the
next era, The Nano-
Revolution after the
current information age
has ended, to the
promises of
nanotechnology, while
being aware of the perils.
Can Molecular Nanotechnology make
Life on other Planets easier?

 Molecular Control Agents in
MNT
Another peril of nanotechnology
is the ability for people to
directly edit cells just as there
are hackers on the internet steal
computers, it stands to reason
in the future corrupt people will
attempt to make
nanotechnologies that issue
genetic alternations without the
permission of the person. The
possibility even exists to make
devices that hijack control of the
cells or mind of the host,
"Molecular Control Agents". This
is something that should never
be researched and banned like
biological weapons.
 Molecular Nanotechnology: Peril for
Humanity

• Government
Involvement in MNT
• No one should be
forcefully genetically
engineered/Hijacked
• Ethical Constraints:

How do you build something so
small?
“Top-down” – building something by starting with
a larger component and carving away material
(like a sculpture).
In nanotechnology: patterning (using
photolithography) and etching away material, as in
building integrated circuits
“Bottom-up” – building something by assembling
smaller components (like building a car engine).
In nanotechnology: self-assembly of atoms and
molecules, as in chemical and biological systems
Fabrication Methods
 Bottom-up fabrication
Self-assembly” of atoms and molecules (since top-down is very difficult for
manufacturing at nanoscale level).
Use of chemical and biological processes.
Current day examples: Growth of nanowires from vapor, using gold nano-
dot catalysts; Self-assembled monolayers (SAM) from solution.

More extreme example: Self-replicating robots.

 NENOWIRES AND CARBON NANOTUBES

NANOWIRES are wires with a very small diameter of 1nm or small.

We can hope to use them to build tiny transistors for computer chips.

CARBON NANOTUBES is a tubular form carbon with diameters of 1nm

and lengths over microns.
 CNT has overshadowed nanowires

• CNT’s exhibit extraordinary mechanical

properties, Tensile strength approximately
200Gpa
• CNT can change it properties according to its
alignment of atom.
• It can be a good semiconductors.
• Scientist are still working on making CNT to
use in making transistor and other electronics.
