5. NANOTECHNOLOGY OVERVIEW DEFINITION OF NANOTECHNOLOGY First what is Nano? Nano - A prefix - From Greek word náno - meaning dwarf - Extremely small - In the names of units of measure – one billionth -Nano meter scale - one billionth of a meter ( x10-9 m. )
7. NANOTECHNOLOGY OVERVIEW What is Technology? Technology – the branch of knowledge that deals with creation in the fields of : - Engineering - Industrial arts - Applied science - Pure science Now what is Nanotechnology? - The engineering of functional systems at a molecular scale - The manipulation of the structure of matter at the molecular level - The “bottom up” approach of building materials from a nanometer scale using techniques and tools being developed today to make complete, highly advanced products. - Basically mean small technology

10. NANOTECHNOLOGY IN ENGINEERING Drosophila cells with the I-switch inside their endosomes. I-switch mapping out spatial and temporal pH changes associated with endosome maturation.
11. NANOTECHNOLOGY IN ENGINEERING Nanoimpellers - Nanotubes made of light-sensitive silica - Carries cancer-killing drugs - Targets only cancer cells - Injected into human cancer cells in vitro How does it work? When light strikes the silica - Tiny tails inside the tubes wag back and forth - Creates a current that releases the drugs out of the tube
13. NANOTECHNOLOGY IN ENGINEERING 2.2 NANOBOTS Mechanical Nanobots Consists of: - Head - Two arms - Two legs Fictional Nanobot
14. NANOTECHNOLOGY IN ENGINEERING Biological Nanobot Nanobot Made of Bacteria - Can be injected with catheter - Can be guided with magnetic field - It’s purpose is to deliver a toxic payload
17. NANOTECHNOLOGY IN ELECTRONICS 3.1 WAYS OF INPROVEMENT: - Reduce the weight and power consumption. - Improve display screens on electronics devices. - Increase the density of memory chips. - Reduce the size of transistors used in integrated circuits.
18. NANOTECHNOLOGY IN ELECTRONICS 3.2 NANOELECTRONICS: APPLICATIONS UNDER DEVELOPMENT - Building transistors - Using electrodes made from nanowires - Developing molecular-sized transistors - Using nanosized magnetic rings - Usage of carbon nanotubes
22. NANOTECHNOLOGY IN MEDICINE 4.1 DRUG DELIVERY - Employing nanoparticles to deliver drugs. - Oral administration of drugs.
23. NANOTECHNOLOGY IN MEDICINE 4.2 THERAPY TECHNIQUES - Buckyballs - Nanoshells - Nanoparticles - AluminosilicateNanoparticles - Nanofibers
24. NANOTECHNOLOGY IN MEDICINE 4.3 ANTI-MICROBIAL TECHNIQUES - Nanoparticle Cream - Nanocapsules - Cell repairs using Nanorobots
25. SUMMARY AND CONCLUSION - From being a theory to something we can now see, words turned into reality. - Nanotechnology has evolved over the period of time for many decades, and is now showing its potential to the whole world. - The development of nanomachines such as: I-switch, nanoimpellers, nanobots etc. - Nanotechnology will increase your standard of living. - Up to today nanotechnology is what's in, what's new, and what's the latest technology being developed all over the world.
