NANOTECHNOLOGY

http://i.treehugger.com/nanotech.jpg

Nanotechnology, shortened to "nanotech", is the study of the control of matter on an atomic and molecular scale. Generally nanotechnology deals with structures of the size 100 nanometers or smaller, and involves developing materials or devices within that size. Nanotechnology is very diverse, ranging from novel extensions of conventional device physics, to completely new approaches based upon molecular self-assembly, to developing new materials with dimensions on the nanoscale, even to speculation on whether we can directly control matter on the atomic scale.
Scientists and engineers are collaborating across disciplines to develop and network miniaturized intelligent nanosensors that can rapidly and remotely detect change in their surroundings. These sensors have a wide range of potential applications: environmental, medical, military and transportation. This workshop will focus on revealing the chemistry and physics behind the creation and application of these sensors. Series: "Molecules for the Media"


The truth about Nanotechnology

A concise introduction to what NT is, what it can't do yet and what we should be aware of Nanotechnology marks the merger of different technologies in structures smaller than 100 nm. While it could yield some powerful applications for sustainability, medicine and electronics, some hazards begin to appear that have to be addressed urgently
