    What Is Nanotechnology?

    Nanotechnology?
    ❖ It is the study of controlling and manipulating
    matter on an atomic and/or molecular scale.
    ❖ It deals with structures the size of 100 nanometers
    or smaller in at least one dimension.
    ❖ A disruptive technology, with a potential to change
    the world as we know it today.
    ❖ It's a very diverse technology
    History Of Nanotechnology

    Society meeting at Caltech titled. chemical synthesis by mechanical
    manipulation
    • According to Feynman, Albert R. Hibbs -a noted
    mathematician originally suggested to him "The idea
    of a medical use for Feynman's theoretical
    micromachines“

    • Albert R. Hibbs suggests a very interesting


    possibility for relatively small machines. He says
    that....

    • "It would be interesting in surgery if you could


    swallow the surgeon. You put the mechanical
    surgeon inside the blood vessel, and it goes into the
    heart and "looks" around... It finds out which valve
    is the faulty one and takes a little knife and slices it
    out. Other small machines might be permanently
    incorporated in the body to assist some
    inadequately- functioning organ".

    • What Feynman and Hibbs considered a possibility,


    today is becoming a reality,

    1991 S. Ijima discovered Carbon Nano tube for the first time

    1999 1st nano medicine book by R. Freitas 'Nano medicine" was published

    2000 For the first time National Nanotechnology Initiative was launched

    2001 For developing theory of nanometer-scale electronic devices and for synthesis and characterization of carbon
    nanotubes and nano wires, Feynman Prize in Nanotechnology was awarded

    2002 Feynman Prize in Nanotechnology was awarded for using DNA to enable the self-assembly of new structures
    and for advancing our ability to model molecular machine systems.

    2003 Feynman Prize in Nanotechnology was awarded for modeling the molecular and electronic structures of new
    materials and for integrating single molecule biological motors with nano-scale silicon devices

    2004 First policy conference on advanced nanotech was held. First center for nano mechanical systems was
    established, Feynman Prize in Nanotechnology was warded for designing stable protein structures and for
    constructing a novel enzyme with an altered function.

    2005-2010 3D Nano systems like robotics, 3D networking and active nano products that change their state during use
    were prepared

    2011 Era of molecular nano technology started

    The different fields that find potential applications of nanotechnology are as follows:

    a. Health and Medicine

    b. Electronics

    c. Transportation

    d. Energy and Environment

    e. Space exploration

    Surgery

    ❖ With nanotechnology, minute surgical instruments and robots can be made


    which can be used to perform microsurgeries on any part of the body.

    ❖ Instead of damaging a large amount of the body, these instruments would be


    precise and accurate, targeting only the area where surgery should be done.

    ❖ Visualization of surgery can also be improved. Instead of a surgeon holding the


    instrument, computers can be used to control the nano- sized surgical
    instruments. "Nano cameras" can provide close visualization of the surgery

    ❖ Less chance of any mistakes or faults

    ❖ Surgery could also be done on tissue, genetic and cellular levels.


    Cancer

    • Nanoparticles have high surface area to volume ratio.

    • This allows for many functional groups to be attached to a nanoparticle, which can seek out and
    bind to certain tumor cells.

    • Additionally, the small size of nanoparticles (10 to 100 nanometers), allows them to preferentially
    accumulate at tumor sites (because tumors lack an effective lymphatic drainage system).

    • Limitations to conventional cancer chemotherapy include


    ✓ drug resistance,
    ✓ lack of selectivity,
    ✓ lack of solubility.

    Nanoparticles have the potential to overcome these problems.
