Note 1 Introduction To Nano

This document discusses nanoscience and nanotechnology. It defines nanoscience as research and development at the atomic, molecular or macromolecular scale of approximately 1-100 nanometers. It provides examples of nanostructures found in nature, such as photonic crystals in butterfly wings and nanostructures that enable self-cleaning in lotus leaves. The document also gives examples of nanotechnology applications, including anti-reflective coatings, surgical sealants, self-cleaning surfaces, and nano-enabled products like sunscreen and fuel cells.

Nanoscience and Nanotechnology

Research and technology development at the atomic,


molecular or macromolecular levels, in the length scale of
approximately 1 - 100 nanometer range

1 nanometer (nm) = 10-9m = 0.000 000 001 m

Nanos = dwarf in Greek


Distance from the sun 149,600,000 km ~ 1.5 x 1011 m

The area covered by earth’s orbit ~ 7 x 10 22 m2


~ 7 x 10 23 puppies in the area covered
by earth orbit
700,000,000,000,000,000,000,000

602,200,000,141,500,000,000,000 = 1 mol
10 puppies per 1 m2 ~ 6 x 10 23

Approximately 1 mol puppies can fill the area covered by the earth orbit
around the sun.
10 mol of water molecules are in the 180mL.
~ 6*1024 water molecules

How small is a water molecule?

SOLAR-POWERED BUGS

In the brown section of the hornet's abdomen, the layers of cuticle that make up the exoskeleton
are embossed with grooves about 160 nanometers high. The grooves are arranged into a sort of
grating, which helps trap the light that hits the hornet and bounce it around within the cuticle.
The yellow section, which has small, interlocking protrusions about 50 nanometers high, also
absorbs light--and the researchers showed that xanthoperin, the pigment that gives it its yellow
color, can be used to convert light into electricity.
SLIPPERY SKIN

On a nanoscale level, the scales on a snake's belly are covered in minuscule hairs, called
microfibrils, which are less than 400 nanometers wide. They all point in the same direction--
toward the tail end of the snake--and their ends are raised about 200 nanometers off the
skin, allowing for a smooth glide forward but stopping any backward motion, like a row of
one-way traffic spikes. The extra friction in only one direction helps prevent sideways
slipping, even if the snake is inclined on a plane.
