Knowing Nanotechnology

Posted in: Nano, technology

Nanotechnology is now in in rapid development. Nanometer itself means one per one-billionth of a meter, so the technology is also related to the creation of small objects. In it incorporated the physical sciences, engineering, molecular biology, and chemistry.
Albert Einstein himself, as part of his doctoral dissertation, to calculate the size of a sugar molecule [...]

I recently read about researchers at the University of Michigan who have demonstrated that nanowires can be used as electrodes in organic light emitting diode (OLED) displays, thereby enabling manufacture of larger flexible OLED displays. This started me thinking about how nanotechnology might affect the appearance and function of electronic devices.
For example, could a laptop [...]

It often comes as a surprise to learn that the Romans and Chinese were using nanoparticles thousands of years ago. Similarly, every time you light a match, fullerenes are produced. Degusssa have been producing carbon black, the substance that makes car tyres black and improves the wear resistance of the rubber, since the 1920s. Of [...]

Despite unprecedented government funding and public interest in nanotechnology, few can accurately define the scope, range or potential applications of this technology. One of the most pressing issues facing nanoscientists and technologists today is that of communicating with the non-scientific community. As a result of decades of speculation, a number of myths have grown up [...]
