Nanotech N Nanoscience
Nanoscience vs. Nanotechnology

Introduction Student Guide
Lesson Overview In this lesson, you will learn the differences between “Nanoscience” and “Nanotechnology.” Both are extremely exciting, but have distinct differences in what the people in these fields do. Throughout this lesson you'll be asked to research and discuss what is happening in nanoscience and nanotechnology. A lot is going on in both fields and the potential for a lot more is HUGE. Before coming to class Complete the on-line Knowledge Probe (KP) called KP: Nanoscience vs Nanotechnology.

Objectives At the end of this lesson you will be able to do the following:  List several examples of nanoscience exploration and research activities  List several examples of nanotechnology innovations and products  Correctly apply the terms Nanoscience and Nanotechnology to different situations  Tell another person what the differences are between Nanoscience and Nanotechnology Resources National Nanotechnology Initiative (NNI) web site: www.nano.gov NNI site “What is Nanotechnology”: http://www.nano.gov/nanotech-101/what Nano Science and Technology Institute : http://www.nsti.org/

    As far back, from my school years, as I can remember the word atom signified the smallest particle of matter. This is a very layman like attitude a scientist would abhor, because a scientist knows that this concept of ‘the smallest particle of matter ' has been changing rapidly over the years. The Greeks, it is said, coined the word “atom”. When this concept was articulated by the Greeks, there were no electronic equipments or high-tech labs to verify and further explore this “atom”. Technological advances have given today’s physicists the needed methods and means to explore matter in ways never possible in the early days of the atom.…

    With history, one must begin with the past. Of course, like most things, nanotechnology was just an idea or concept; a concept that was proposed by the physicist Richard Feynman in 1959. He stated that he wanted to build tiny factories all manufacturing simultaneously. He continued to say that it does not violate any laws of physics and has not been in practice only because humans are too big. The practice of it began to develop when the scanning tunneling microscope was created. This enormous microscope allowed humans to view the height of individual atoms. What was seen looked like some alien landscapes. However, using the same machine, they could also move, pick up, and place the atoms, rearranging these landscapes into their own. Nanotechnology is starting to skyrocket these days. It is one of the major studies right now. Many products are already using nanotechnology. These products are batteries that have longer life spans, sunscreen that doesn’t whiten the user’s face and bandages that kill bacteria. But what will there be in the future? There are chances that the uses of nanotechnology in The Risen Empire can become real. There may be nanosuits and nanoships, but most likely not until the distant future. Other possible products in the distant future may be disease killing nanotechnologies that roam the body, destroying threatening bacteria or viruses.…
