Georgia Tech News Room WHAT IS NANOTECHNOLOGY? Many leading researchers believe nanotechnology has the potential to solve the world’s most vexing problems ­ disease, food shortages, lack of clean water and inadequate shelter. Some say it will have a profound impact on every aspect of our lives and revolutionize areas such as medicine and computing, while some even predict it to be the next industrial revolution. Nanotechnology, often referred to as the “science of small,” is the engineering of materials at the atomic and molecular levels to create electronics and other devices, making it possible to build machines on the scale of human cells or build materials or structures that take on dramatically different properties by virtue of their miniature size. The prefix “nano” comes from the Greek word nanos and represents one-billionth of a unit. For example, a nanosecond is one-billionth of a second. Scientists working in the field of nanotechnology work at the nanoscale, dealing with materials measured in a billionth of a meter ­ about 100,000 times smaller than the width of a human hair.

Our thanks to the Institute for Alternative Futures for arranging the lecture. Dr. Gregory Fahy discusses his presentation on medical applications of nanotechnology with participants at Foresight's First General Conference in November 1992. Pathways to Molecular Nanotechnology Molecular nanotechnology has many precedents. Enzymes are natural molecular machines that adsorb individual reactant molecules from the surrounding solution and, as a result of precisely orienting them with respect to each other in a protected "nanoenvironment," catalyze reactions in a highly specific manner at very high speeds and under mild reaction conditions. This simple process in biological systems ultimately allows synthesis of structures as diverse as carbon dioxide and hair. In fact, living organisms are naturally-existing, fabulously complex systems of molecular nanotechnology. If nature can produce the biochemical capabilities of living cells by accident, molecular engineers should be able to accomplish comparable, but broader capabilities by design, guided in part by the examples provided by living systems.

Nanotechnology What is it? The Institute azonano the A to Z of nanotechnology Nanotechnology-What is it? Nanotechnology can best be considered as a 'catch-all' description of activities at the level of atoms and molecules that have applications in the real world. A nanometre is a billionth of a metre, that is, about 1/80,000 of the diameter of a human hair, or 10 times the diameter of a hydrogen atom. An early promoter of the industrial applications of nanotechnology, Albert Franks, defined it as 'that area of science and technology where dimensions and tolerances in the range of 0.1nm to 100 nm play a critical role'. It encompasses precision engineering as well as electronics; electromechanical systems (eg 'lab-on-a-chip' devices) as well as mainstream biomedical applications in areas as diverse as gene therapy, drug delivery and novel drug discovery techniques. Because nanotechnology has opened up new worlds of possibility, it has spawned a proliferation of new terminology - a kind of nanospeak to the uninitiated. For example, the two fundamentally different approaches to nanotechnology are graphically termed 'top down' and 'bottom up'. 'Top-down' refers to making nanoscale structures by machining and etching techniques, whereas 'bottom-up', or molecular nanotechnology, applies to building organic and inorganic structures atom-by-atom, or molecule-by-molecule. Top-down or bottom-up is a measure of the level of advancement of nanotechnology. Nanotechnology, as applied today, is still in the main at what may be considered the more primitive 'top-down' stage.

The facility is specially designed for advanced multidisciplinary research such that researchers with little previous experience in nanotechnology could use it to join and collaborate with those already active and experienced in the subject. The centre is based on the ground floor of the Information Technology building within the School of Computer Science, and housed in a suite of Class 100 to Class 1000 clean-rooms covering a total area of 200 m The collaborative nature makes the facility really unique and has already initiated a large number of projects from many schools in the University.

SNDP and Nanotechnology Sam Ghandchi http://www.ghandchi.com/399-SNDPEng.htm Why do I think SNDP (Simplified Nanotechnology Development Platform) is the key to the success or failure of nanotechnology? Let's remember the early 1980's and the field of AI. On one side, there was the AI community with a great wealth of knowledge and some of the best labs and geniuses at MIT, Stanford, and Carnegie-Mellon, who initiated companies like Teknowledge to develop expert systems, Automatix to build intelligent sense perception for robots, and Artificial Intelligence Corporation (makers of Intellect) to simulate natural language communication. On the other side, there were people like Steve Jobs and Bill Gates, who in company of the likes of Marvin Minsky, would not even count as computer literate. But the reality is that the first group hardly made any significant changes to the huge global development of IT, and at best their results were picked up, and used, by the successful companies of the second group. In fact, two decades later, some of the works of AI, are being picked up by Google, which has developed to what it is, thanks to the PC Revolution. The reality is that the discussions of the AI community in early 1980's were not much different from the discussions of 1950 by Turing or even similar discussions of the field today. Yesterday, I wrote a review entitled

Eric Drexler -01/02/04 Table of Contents Preface Do Undeveloped Countries Need to Care? What is Molecular Assembly Why is Artificial Remaking Important? ... Conclusion Preface There is a very important debate in the nanotechnology research community. The debate is called Drexler-Smalley debate and is focused on the issue of molecular assembly. K. Eric Drexler founded the field of nanotechnology about 20 years ago, and he is the chairman of Foresight Institute Richard E. Smalley is a Nobel Laureate in chemistry and has been a researcher in the field of nanotech for ten years, working on potential applications of carbon nanotubes It is interesting that one of the great visionaries of our times, who is the foremost authority in the field of Artificial Intelligence, namely Ray Kurzweil , has diligently addressed the Drexler-Smalley debate. Kurzweil's article is a very detailed technical account of the debate, and he shows very scientifically why it is important to support Drexler's vision.

Molecular nanotechnology would fabricate precise structures using mechanosynthesis to perform molecular manufacturing . Molecular nanotechnology, though not yet existent, is posited by its proponents to have a great impact on society if realized. More broadly, nanotechnology includes the many techniques used to create structures at a size scale below 100 nm, including those used for fabrication of nanotubes and nanowires, those used in semiconductor fabrication such as deep ultraviolet lithography, electron beam lithography, focused ion beam machining, atomic layer deposition, and molecular vapor deposition, and further including molecular self-assembly techniques such as those employing di-block

Grand Challenges Many of the grand challenges of today and the future are found in the question: "How are we going to solve the problems and make serious improvements in industrial manufacturing, disease control, environmental pollution control, global climate change, food production, transportation, communications, and others?" Nanotechnology promises to make revolutionary contributions. Within the next few years we can expect to see major improvements. Here are some possibilities of the things to come. Materials and Manufacturing Nanotechnology is fundamentally changing the way materials and devices will be produced in the future. Nanostructures, ceramics, polymers, metals, and other materials will have greatly improved mechanical properties. In fact, with the ability to build things atom-by-atom and molecule-by-molecule there will be new classes of structural materials. Nanotechnology will enable products to be lighter, stronger, smarter, cheaper, cleaner, and more precise. The ability to synthesize nanoscale building blocks with precisely controlled size and composition and then to assemble them into larger structures with unique properties and functions will revolutionize segments of the materials manufacturing industry. Nanostructuring is expected to bring about lighter, stronger, and programmable materials; reductions in life-cycle costs through lower failure rates; innovative devices based on new principles and architectures; and use of molecular/cluster manufacturing.

Go Home News Old Company Press Releases Purdue's self-assembled 'nanorings' could boost computer memory West Lafayette, Ind. December 10th, 2003 Recent nanotechnology research at Purdue University could pave the way toward faster computer memories and higher density magnetic data storage, all with an affordable price tag. Just like the electronics industry, the data storage industry is on the move toward nanoscale. By shrinking components to below 1/1,000th the width of a human hair, manufacturers could make faster computer chips with more firepower per square inch. However, the technology for making devices in that size range is still being developed, and the smaller the components get, the more expensive they are to produce. Click to enlarge Shown are cobalt nanoparticles that have self-assembled into bracelet-like "nanorings." The rings' magnetic flux can be oriented in one of two directions - clockwise or counterclockwise - a characteristic that could represent binary numbers in magnetic memory devices. Because the flux direction remains even without a constant power supply, it is possible these rings could lead to so-called "non-volatile" computer memory, which would not be wiped out in the event of a system failure. (Graphic/Purdue University Department of Chemistry) Purdue chemist Alexander Wei may have come up with a surprisingly simple and cheap solution to the shrinking data storage problem. Wei's research team has found a way to create tiny magnetic rings from particles made of cobalt. The rings are much less than 100 nanometers across - an important threshold for the size-conscious computer industry - and can store magnetic information at room temperature. Best of all, these "nanorings" form all on their own, a process commonly known as self-assembly.

COMMITTEE ON SCIENCE U.S. HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES SUBCOMMITTEE ON BASIC RESEARCH DRAFT-HEARING CHARTER Nanotechnology: The State of Nano-Science and Its Prospects for the Next Decade Tuesday, June 22, 1999 3:00-5:00 p.m. 2318 Rayburn House Office Building The purpose of the hearing is to review federal funding of nanotechnology research, to discuss the role of the federal government in supporting nano-science research, and to discuss the economic implications of scientific advances made in the field of nanotechnology. Nanotechnology is the building of tools and systems that function on a minuscule scale. Technically, it is the creation of functional materials, devices and systems through the control of matter on the nanometer (10 m) length scale and the exploitation of the novel properties and phenomena developed at that scale. One nanometer is one billionth of a meter (10 m). That is roughly ten times the size of an individual atom. By comparison, proteins, the molecules that catalyze chemical transformations in cells, are in the 1-20 nanometers in size. Scientists have been interested in the field of nanotechnology since the late-1950’s. One of the early proponents of research into nano-science was the Nobel Prize winning physicist, Richard Feynmann. In a 1959 lecture entitled, "There’s Plenty of Room at the Bottom," he stimulated his audience with the expectation of exciting new discoveries if one could fabricate materials and devices at the atomic/molecular scale. Since that time, federal support for research into nanotechnology has increased to over $200 million per year.
