    STS Nanotechnology

    Uploaded by

    Hannah Joy Mari
    Nanotechnology involves manipulating matter at the nanoscale level, which is smaller than what can be seen with a light microscope. It is being used today in a variety of products like sunscreen, TV and phone screens, laptops, pans, and more. While it is being developed globally, some health risks have been identified from nanoproducts, like potential lung damage. Major players developing nanotechnology include the US, China, India, South Korea and others.

    1. What is nanotechnology?
    When we say Nanotechnology it is one of the branch of science and engineering that devoted to
    designing, producing, and using structures, devices, and system by manipulating atoms and molecules
    and nanoscale.
    2. How big is a nanometer?
    Nanometer is very small. You can’t see the nanometer with your eyes, or a light microscope.
    3. How does nanotechnology work?
    Nanotechnology is the science of building machines and nanotechnology is the one that controlling
    the matter at the nanoscale.
    4. What are nanomaterials?
    Nanomaterials is a chemical industry use to produce objects that vary enormously in their size from
    say the iron girders for bridge and building.
    5. What are synthetic nanoparticles?
    Synthetic nanoparticles is play an important role in nanotechnology that composed of metals,
    semiconductor materials, compounds such a metal oxides (inorganic nanoparticles) or of carbon or
    carbon-containing compounds such as polymers (organic nanoparticles).
    6. What are nanoclusters?
    Nanocluster is a small particle, it is a individual nanoparticle.
    7. How are nano particles made?
    Nanoparticles made by breaking down larger of larger particles or by controlled assembly processes
    and all thing we do .like cooking, manufacturing road and air transport are realising nanoparticles in
    the atmosphere.

    Yes there are lung cancer, lung disease.
    13. What countries are active in nanotechnology? Does the Philippines already active in nanotechnology?
    India, China, USA, South Korea, Germany, Iran, japan, france, UK, Spain, Russia, Italy, Australia,
    Canada, Taiwan, Saudi Arabia, Brazil, Poland, Singapore, Turkey. Yes, because we use the things
    that having a nanotechnology.
