• Nanoparticles are particles with at least one dimension less than 100 nm
• Surface area to volume ratio increases as the particle size decreases, leading to increased reactivity and catalytic activity.
• The term nanotechnology refers to the manipulation of matter on an atomic, molecular, and supramolecular scale
• The size of nanoparticles is important because it affects their properties, such as surface area to volume ratio.
• Nanoparticles are particles with sizes between 1-100 nm
• Nano is the prefix used to indicate one billionth (10-9) or one thousandth (10-3)
• Nanomaterials are materials engineered to have unique properties due to their size and shape
• Nanosensors can detect changes in their environment due to their small size and high surface area to volume ratio
• Nanomedicine focuses on developing medical treatments and technologies based on nanomaterials and techniques.
• Nanomaterials have unique physical, chemical, optical, electrical, mechanical, and biological properties due to their small size
• Nanosensors detect changes in physical or chemical parameters at the nanometer scale.
• Gold nanoparticles have been used in various applications including drug delivery, cancer treatment, and electronics.
• Microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) are similar but operate at larger scales
• Nanoelectronics involves the use of nanoscale materials and devices in electronic applications.
• Nanoelectromechanical systems (NEMS) are devices that combine mechanical elements with electronic components
• Nanotechnology involves manipulating matter at an atomic scale using tools like scanning tunneling microscopes and atomic force microscopes.
• DNA is made up of nucleotides, which consist of a sugar-phosphate backbone and four different bases (Adenine, Thymine, Cytosine, Guanine).
• The term "nanotech" was coined by Norio Taniguchi in 1974 to describe the production of parts on an atomic level.
• The color emitted by quantum dots depends on their size and composition
• Quantum dots can be made from different types of semiconductors such as CdSe, PbS, InAs, ZnCdSe, etc.
• Ribonucleic acid (RNA): A single strand molecule composed of ribose sugars instead of deoxyribose sugars found in DNA.
• The sequence of these bases determines the genetic information encoded by DNA.
• Messenger RNA (mRNA) carries genetic information from the nucleus to the cytoplasm where it directs protein synthesis.
• mRNA: Messenger RNA carries instructions from DNA to make proteins.
• Electronic devices are being developed that use individual atoms or molecules as electronic components.
• Nanoelectronics involves manipulating electrons at the nanoscale using techniques like scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) and electron beam lithography.
