NANO TECHNOLOGY
NANO TECHNOLOGY Nanotechnology is the science and technology of designing, producing, and controlling materials and devices at the nanoscale , typically between 1 and 100 nanometers (nm) . At this very small size, materials can show special electrical, optical, chemical, and mechanical properties What makes nanotechnology special? When materials become extremely small, their properties can change. They may become stronger, lighter, more chemically reactive, or better at conducting electricity or heat . Scientists can take advantage of these properties to develop new materials and technologies. Block Diagram Explanation 1. Nanomaterials/Nanostructures: Materials are engineered at the 1–100 nm scale. 2. Synthesis/Fabrication: Nanomaterials are produced using techniques such as chemical, physical, or biological methods. 3. Characterization: Their size, structure, ...
