nanotechnology

(noun)

the science and technology of creating nanoparticles and of manufacturing machines which have sizes within the range of nanometres

Examples of nanotechnology in the following topics:

  • What is Nanotechnology?

  • Applications of Nanotechnology

  • More Things About Nanotechnology

  • Overview of Biotechnology

    • Biotechnology refers to the use of the biological sciences (such as gene manipulation), often in combination with other sciences (such as materials sciences, nanotechnology, and computer software), to discover, evaluate and develop products for bioindustry.

  • Synthetic Antimicrobial Drugs

    • Antimicrobial nanotechnology is a recent addition to the fight against disease-causing organisms, replacing heavy metals and toxins, and may some day be used as a viable alternative.

  • "So What?"

    • Advances in nanotechnology make it possible to explore the role played by water molecules in living systems, potentially leading to the development of ultrasensitive biosensors (Mertens, J., et al., 2008).

  • The "New Economy" of the 1990s

    • According to another point of view, the "new economy" is a current Kondratiev wave which will end after a 50-year period in the 2040s; its innovative basis includes the Internet, nanotechnologies, telematics, and bionics.

  • Naturally Occurring Antimicrobial Drugs: Antibiotics

    • Antimicrobial nanotechnology is a recent addition to the fight against disease causing organisms.

  • Allotropes of Carbon

    • Buckyballs and buckytubes have been the subject of intense research, both because of their unique chemistry and for their technological applications, especially in materials science, electronics, and nanotechnology.
