CSTS Flashcards
> Refers to the branch of science and engineering devoted to designing,
producing and using structures, devices, and systems by manipulating
atoms and molecules at nanoscale.
Refers to any technology that is implemented at the nanoscale and has
application in the real world.
Nanotechnology
The concept of a “nanometer” was first proposed by :
He coined the term nanometer explicitly for
characterizing particle size and he was the first to
measure to size of particle such as gold colloids using
a microscope.
Richard Zsigmondy
Modern nanotechnology was the brainchild of
Richard
Feynman
have far larger
surface area-to-volume ratio than
bulk materials. As surface area per
volume increases, materials can
become more active.
Nanoscale materials
How Small is a Nanoscale?
1 to 100 nm.
