The history of nanotechnology traces the development of the concepts and experimental work falling under the broad category of nanotechnology.Although nanotechnology is a relatively recent development in scientific research, the development of its central concepts happened over a longer period of time.
Part of a series of articles on: Nanotechnology; History; Organizations; Popular culture; Outline; Impact and applications; Nanomedicine; Nanotoxicology; Green ...
The Center for Nanotechnology in Society at the University of California at Santa Barbara (CNS-UCSB) is funded by the National Science Foundation and "serves as a national research and education center, a network hub among researchers and educators concerned with societal issues concerning nanotechnologies, and a resource base for studying ...
Bionanotechnology is the use of biomolecules for applications in nanotechnology, including the use of viruses and lipid assemblies. [ 45 ] [ 46 ] Nanocellulose , a nanopolymer often used for bulk-scale applications, has gained interest owing to its useful properties such as abundance, high aspect ratio, good mechanical properties , renewability ...
Nanotechnology's ability to observe and control the material world at a nanoscopic level can offer great potential for construction development. Nanotechnology can help improve the strength and durability of construction materials, including cement, steel, wood, and glass. [9] By applying nanotechnology, materials can gain a range of new ...
Stages of progress in nanotechnology [ edit ] In 2005, Mihail Roco , one of the architects of the USA's National Nanotechnology Initiative, proposed four states of nanotechnology that seem to parallel the technical progress of the Industrial Revolution, of which productive nanosystems is the most advanced.
Nanoelectronics – use of nanotechnology on electronic components, including transistors so small that inter-atomic interactions and quantum mechanical properties need to be studied extensively. Nanomechanics – branch of nanoscience studying fundamental mechanical (elastic, thermal and kinetic) properties of physical systems at the nanometer ...
