Project Title:- Nanotechnology

ProjectDescription: -
The term nanotechnology was coined in 1974 by Nario Taniguichi of Tokyo Science
University to describe semiconductor processes such as a thin film decomposition that deal
with control on the order of nanometers.Nanotechnology is science, engineering and
technology conducted at the nanoscale, which is about 1 to 100 nanometers.
Nanotechnology and nanoscience are the study and applications of extremely small things
and can be used across all the other science field, such as chemistry, biology, physics,
material science and engineering.

Objectives: -
 Develop two modular undergraduate-level courses dealing with nanotechnology
environment, health, and safety awareness, which will be offered entirely online to UT Tyler
students, and as modules inserted separately into other courses to Texas State students.
 Assess the effectiveness of the newly developed curriculum using a rigorous
formative and summative assessment plan

 Build on pedagogical research by employing a variety of teaching methods to engage

students, particularly women and Hispanic students, including hands on training, socially
relevant case studies, plan tours, videos and guest lectures.
 Elucidate emerging needs in nanotechnology environment, health; and safety, and
incorporate them into basic education that can be immediately employed in industry.

 Promote interdisciplinary interactions among engineering, engineering technology,

science, and industrial management/technology majors

Technicaldetails: -
One nanometer is a billionth of a meter, or 10-9 of a meterThere are 25,400,000 nanometers
in an inch.A sheet of newspaper is about 100,000 nanometers thick.On a comparative scale,
if a marble were a nanometer, then one meter would be the size of the Earth. . Nanoscience
and nanotechnology involve the ability to see and to control individual atoms and
molecules. Everything on Earth is made up of atoms—the food we eat, the clothes we wear,
the buildings and houses we live in, and our own bodies. The ideas and concepts behind
nanoscience and nanotechnology started with a talk entitled “There’s Plenty of Room at the
Bottom” by physicist Richard Feynman at an American Physical Society meeting at the
California Institute of Technology (CalTech) on December 29, 1959, long before the term
nanotechnology was used. It’s hard to imagine just how small nanotechnologyis

Innovativeness&Usefulness: -
 Transistors, the basic switches that enable all modern computing, have gotten smaller
and smaller through nanotechnology. At the turn of the century, a typical transistor was
130 to 250 nanometers in size. In 2014, Intel created a 14 nanometer transistor, then
IBM created the first seven nanometer transistor in 2015, and then Lawrence Berkeley
National Lab demonstrated a one nanometer transistor in 2016!  Smaller, faster, and
better transistors may mean that soon your computer’s entire memory may be stored
on a single tiny chip.
 Using magnetic random access memory (MRAM), computers will be able to “boot”
almost instantly. MRAM is enabled by nanometer‐scale magnetic tunnel junctions and
can quickly and effectively save data during a system shutdown or enable resume‐play
features.
 Other computing and electronic products include Flash memory chips for smart phones
and thumb drives; ultra-responsive hearing aids; antimicrobial/antibacterial coatings on
keyboards and cell phone casings; conductive inks for printed electronics for
RFID/smart cards/smart packaging; and flexible displays for e-book readers.
 Flexible, bendable, foldable, rulable, and stretchable electronics are reaching into
various sectors and are being integrated into a variety of products, including 
wearables, medical applications, aerospace applications, and the Internet of Things.
Flexible electronics have been developed using, for example, semiconductor
nanomembranes for applications in smartphone and e-reader displays.
 Nanoparticle copper suspensions have been developed as a safer, cheaper, and more
reliable alternative to lead-based solder and other hazardous materials commonly used
to fuse electronics in the assembly process.

Current Status of Development:-

. National Centers for Nanofabrication and Nanoelectronics were started in Indian Institute
of Science, Bangalore and Indian Institute of Technology, Mumbai. Multiple institutions like
Department on Information Technology, Defence Research and Development Organisation,
Council of Scientific and Industrial Research and Department of Biotechnology provided the
funding to researchers, scholars and projects.Efforts to promote research in
nanotechnology in India began early in the millenium. The “NanoScience and Technology
Initiative” started with a funding of Rs. 60 crores . In 2007, the government launched a 5
year program called Nano Mission with wider objectives and larger funding of USD 250
million.  The contribution of the private sector to nanotechnology research has been
minimal. Research from academic institutions has indicated how much impact
nanotechnology can have on needs of Indian market.

  There have been 300 patent applications in the Indian Patent Office in 2013, ten times
that of 2006. 

 The administrative aspects of new projects shoule be streamlined. Most

importantly, remuneration for people trained in the field should increase, to attract high
calibre work force to join these research facilities.

 Nano technology holds great potential for India and a multi pronged approach will
ensure that this is fully leveraged.
