Nanotechnology Flashcards
It is the understanding and control of matter at dimensions of between approximately one to one hundred nanometers where unique phenomena enable novel applications.
Nanotechnology
2 basic tenets of Nanotech
- Size
- Unique Properties
It is the ability of some basic chemical and physical properties to change because of the size and structure.
Size
A white pigment widely used in coating materials and consumer products.
Titanium Dioxide
It is where particles that are synthesized at the nanoscale change their properties.
Unique Properties
A Caltech physicist that conceptualized shrinking technology from its current scale to a scale one-sixteenth its size
Richard Feynman
He pioneered in molecular engineering and envisioned to design and manipulate matter at the nanoscale.
Eric Drexler
2 current state of nanotechnology application
