Nanotech

The basic idea behind nano-technology is that its technology thats very small....

So small in fact it could be said to be invisible to the unaided human eye... in fact tiny would be a better word for it...

Now a millimetre is small but smaller still is a micrometre, but even smaller than a micrometre is a tiny size around the nanometre scale...

So imagine a great big metre.... now think of a small millimetre (metre x 10^-3)...

Next think of a ridiculously small micrometre (metre x 10^-6) and then stretch the imagination another thousand to get to a tiny nanometre (metre x 10^-9)

That is how small a technology nanotech is.... John.

Hi,

Even I am new to nanotechnology and also i am very much intrested in this field. But can you tell me how we can use nano technology in day to day life and in industrial application.

Being a mechanical engineer, I am intrested in application of nanotechnolgy in mechanical field.

Can you help me out in this regards.

Nice picture haa!!:

I do not know if you saw that movie in which a militar guy into a machine was shrinked to small that they introduce this guy, into machine, in one human body.

So nanothech, in medicine, will be something like that but with out the militar guy :).

There is another area in which nanotech will be implemented too. Mechanics. Here all the materials for buildings willl become smart. Some of them able to repair them self. Sound's crazy, but I read it on Popular Mechanics magacine last year.

Just Google Nanotech Implementation. You will see a lot of implementations for nanothech.

Saludos!

thank you very much sir....
