STS: Nanotechnology Flashcards
tI is a branch of technology that deals with the manipulation and study of matter (at nanoscale level).
nanotechnology
It covers al types of research and
technologiesthat deal with special properties of matter on an atomic
molecular and supramolecular shape.
nanotechnology
It brings together various fields of science (convergent) through its innovations (DNA, silicon chips, converging between semiconductor science (inorganic chemistry) and biology, with applications in the medical industry.
nanotechnology
tI involves design, characterization, production, and application of structures, devices, and systems by controlling shapes and sizes at the nanometer scale.
nanotechnology
The technology is enabling that ti provides the platform and the tools to produce innovations.
nanotechnology
Tangible objects such as materials,
devices, and systems
first dimension
Passive and static objects such as
nanoparticles, active devices, and nanofacture
(atomically precise
manufacturing, APM)
second dimension
Direct nanotechnology such as materials structured as
nanoscale components which can also extend to
indirect nanotechnology.
third dimension
Development of more effective drugs.
medicine
Biological mechanism simulation (destructing a cancer cell while it is treated by drug-bearing nanoparticles).
medicine
which can employ molecular processes within cells that delivers drugs to specific molecular sites or even carry out surgery (Biercuk, 2011).
Nanobots
tI also possible to diagnose prevalent contagious diseases (HIV/AIDS, malaria, tuberculosis, etc.) with the use of
screening devices
water purification systems and utilizing new membranes technologies containing variable pore sized fileter
hydration technology
which have specific nanoporous cage-like structures used in molecular sieves.
Zeolites (SiO and Al2Os)
it is used to prepare heat resistance and self cleaning surfaces
nanoparticles
to prevent stain.
Surface repel water (nanoparticles of SO2 and TiO,)
It is used to breed crops with higher
levels of micronutrients to detect pests and to control food processing.
agriculture
enhanced with the discovery of
its bactericidal properties of Ag nanoparticles(1-100m )
are dependent on both their size and shape
The anti microbial properties of Silver
Development of ??? on
earth surfaces that control soil, air, and water contamination.
Ultra-small probes
supports cleaner production methods and provide alternative and renewable energy sources to enhance the sustainability of factories
bionanotechnology
increases the rate of chemical reactions which lessens the input of raw mateirals
nanoscale chemical reagents or catalysts
