1. INTRODUCTION Nanotechnology is a field whose theme is the control of matter on an atomic and molecular scale‚ nanotechnology deals with structures of the size 100 nanometers or smaller. Nanotechnology is extremely diverse ranging from novel extensions of conventional device physics. Nanogenerator is a prototype nanometer-scale generator that produces continuous direct-current electricity by harvesting mechanical energy from such environmental sources as ultrasonic waves‚ mechanical

Nanotechnology is derived from the combination of two words Nano and Technology. Nano means very small or “miniature”. So‚ Nanotechnology is the technology in miniature form. It is the combination of Bio- technology‚ Chemistry‚ Physics and Bio-informatics‚ etc. Nanotechnology originated in India around 16 years back. It is in its early development phase and therefore the industry keeps a keen watch over the students who pursue M. Tech. in nanotechnology. There are several career opportunities
Premium Nanotechnology Nanomedicine
Nanotechnology is defined as “the manipulation or rearrangement of matter in dimensions 1 to 100nm also known as nanoparticles” (What Is Nanotoxicology?‚ 2013). The rapid development of nanotechnology is believed to have significant benefits on mankind. However‚ as with possibly all developing technologies‚ there are bounds to be risks associated with these benefits. To assess these risks‚ a new discipline known as nanotoxicology has emerged and is corresponding with nanotechnology. Nanotoxicology

Nanotechnology is an enabling technique that could have an impact on the world that dwarfs the internet’s impact on our daily lives. Nanorobots are manufactured using this nanotechnology. Nanotechnology is not only used in electronics field‚ apart from that it is going to play an important role in future. Without surgery without drop of blood we can

Nanochemistry looks set to make a great deal of progress for a large number of industry sectors. Nanotechnology exists in the realm where many scientific disciplines meet. Achievements in physics are getting progressively smaller – from valves to electronics‚ down to microelectronics and quantum computing. It mirrors the downsizing in focus in the biological

coming up with the Nokia Morph flexible mobile phone which the company claims include nanotechnology and would immensely benefit its end-users. The main benefit of Nanotechnology is that its components are flexible‚ transparent and extremely strong. Nokia morph is a joint technology concept‚ developed by Nokia research center (NRC) and the University of Cambridge (UK). The Morph is a concept that shows what nanotechnology can bring to mobile devices: flexible materials‚ transparent electronics and self-cleaning

Political and legal influences It is agreed upon that nanotechnology‚ like most emerging technologies‚ requires proper‚ consistent‚ and coherent governance‚ however legal and regulatory questions associated with the technology remain‚ mostly due to uncertainty and the public’s lack of trust in what may be considered controversial applications and the transparency of the legislative and regulatory decisions. Considering the vague definition of nanotechnology the Foresight Institute encourages self-regulation
