Nano technology

• Human population is increasing and its natural resources are dwindling with an increasing risk of depletion due to ever increasing demand.
• Nanotechnology is a field of science that deals with developing and innovating tools and machines utilizing the scale size of atoms and molecules.
• A nanometer size is described as one-billionth of a meter which is equivalent to ten times the diameter of a hydrogen atom.
• A Nanometer is a unit of length in the metric system, equal to one billionth of a meter or 10 meter.
• A Nanometer is roughly the width of three or four atoms.
• The average human hair is about 25,000 nanometers wide.
• Nano machine is a tiny machine capable of doing human tasks at nano level.
• Nano robot is a tiny machine that performs work like miniature surgeon which is implanted in the body to diagnose or treat disorder.
• Nanomedicine is a field of science which deals with using nanotechnology in the field of medicine.
• Danoelectronics is a field of science in electronics that uses nanotechnology.
• The first ever concept of nanotechnology was presented in 1959 by the famous professor of physics and Nobel prize winner, Dr Richard P Feynman during the Annual Meeting of the American Physical Society.
• Dr. Richard P Feynman's talk was about "There is Plenty of Room at the Bottom" explaining that size of things can be decreased to perform specific tasks according to how they were designed to be.
• Dr. Richard P Feynman envisioned building tiny factories that can produce goods simultaneously inspired by how nature works in Nano scale.
• Dr. Sumio Iijima developed cylindrical nanotubes made of carbon atoms which can be manipulated to create new nano materials in 1991 at electronics maker NEC.
• Nanotechnology is now being used in sports stadium flood lights.
• In 1998, US National Science and Technology Council (NSTC) of the White House, realizing the benefits of nanotechnology, created the Interagency Working Group on Nano-science Engineering and Technology (WGN).
• Nanotechnology research and development received a sum of $500M, leading to the development of nano scale technology.
• Nanotechnology is described as anything with a size between 1 and 100 nanometers with novel properties focusing on semiconductor and material development.
• Nanotechnology has impressed many scientists in developing materials that show different properties when they are reduced to nano size.
• Inert platinum becomes a catalysts material, aluminum becomes combustible, solid gold at room temperature turns into liquid state, and insulators become conductors.
• Nanotechnology has endless ways to create new materials and new discoveries.
• Smaller transistor means more of them on a wafer, producing lower cost of processors and increasing CPU power but creating a reduction in production costs.
• Richard Feynman was a Nobel Prize-winning American physicist, known for his contributions to quantum physics, quantum electrodynamics, particle physics, as well as quantum computing and nanotechnology.
• The term Nano-technology was invented by Norio Taniguchi in 1974 at University of Tokyo to describe semiconductor processes such as thin film deposition and ion beam milling exhibiting characteristic control on the order of a nanometer.
• Norio Taniguchi was a professor of Tokyo University of Science and created the term nano-technology in 1974 to describe semiconductor processes such as thin film deposition and ion beam milling exhibiting characteristic control on the order of a nanometer.
• In 1981, Eric Drexler published a paper about basic concepts in nanotechnology.
• In 1992, Eric Drexler used the term "molecular nanotechnology" or "molecular manufacturing" to distinguish his ideas from other scientists.
• Kim Eric Drexler is an American engineer who popularized the potential of molecular nanotechnology (MNT), from the 1970s and 1980s.
• Kim Eric Drexler's 1991 doctoral thesis at Massachusetts Institute of Technology was revised and published as the book Nanosystems: Molecular Machinery Manufacturing and Computation (1992), which was awarded by the Association of American Publishers for Best Computer Science Book of 1992.
• In January 2000, then President Bill Clinton helped fund the National Nanotechnology Initiative (NNI).
