 NANO TECHNOLOGY

06/04/2024 Satish Kumar_D

 Definition:
• Nano means one billionth of a meter, or meters.
• Nanotechnology is science, engineering,
and technology conducted at the nanoscale, which is about 1 to
100 nanometers.
• The term nanotechnology is defined by Tokyo University of Science
Professor Norio Taniguchi in a 1974 .

 History :
 In 1980 researchers reported the discovery of “Bucky Ball”, a
round molecule of 60 atoms of carbon.
 This led in turn to the discovery of a related molecular shape
known as “Carbon Nanotubes” in 1991.

 Nano-materials:
 Nanoscale materials can also be used for bulk applications;
most present commercial applications.

 The nanomaterials field includes subfields which develop

or study materials having unique properties arising from their
nanoscale dimensions.
 Nanoscale materials are sometimes used in solar cells which combats
the cost of traditional Silicon solar cells

 Nano - electronics:
 Nano electronics is one of the major technologies of Nanotechnology. It
plays vital role in the field of engineering and electronics.
 Nano electronics make use of scientific methods at atomic scale for
developing the Nano machines.
 This is implied in the next-generation approach towards manufacture of
MEMS, microprocessors, optical switching and several other electronic
components.
