What is NANO?
It doesn’t mean NANO car! Comes from the Greek word ‘nano’ meaning dwarf Nanoscience and nanotechnology are
the study and application of extremely small things and can be used across all the other science fields, such as chemistry, biology, physics, materials science and engineering.

Synthesis of Nanomaterials
Everything is made up of atoms Two ways to make nanomaterials:
Top-down Bottom-up
![Page 19: Introduction to nanotechnology](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081717/554afa7eb4c905c12d8b48f8/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Synthesis of Nanomaterials: Top-down approach
Making smaller devices by using larger ones to direct their assembly
Start with large structures Slow Generally expensive Examples: Ball milling, Lithography
etc.
![Page 20: Introduction to nanotechnology](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081717/554afa7eb4c905c12d8b48f8/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Synthesis of nanomaterials: Bottom-up approaches
Self-assembly Makes use of physical forces down at
atomic/molecular level Start with atoms or molecules Less expensive Found inherently in nature Examples: sol-gel processing,
Chemical vapour deposition etc.

The Research Trends: Global

The Nano Mission: India
The Nano Mission is a Mission-Mode programme within DST. At the apex level, it is steered by a Nano Mission Council (NMC). It is currently being chaired by Professor CNR Rao, FRS, National Research Professor and Honorary President & Linus Pauling Research Professor, Jawaharlal Nehru Centre for Advanced Scientific Research, Bangalore.

The Nano Mission: India
If the top-10 place eludes India in global ranking for science performance — whether in innovation or publications, it is because of “subcritical funding” the discipline receives, according to the scientific adviser to the Prime Minister, C.N.R. Rao, who has been named for Bharat Ratna.
"But for the money that science receives, India, I suppose, is doing well," he said.

Economic oppression from artificially inflated prices
Personal risk from criminal or terrorist use Personal or social risk from abusive restrictions Social disruption from new products/lifestyles Environmental damage or health risks from
unregulated products Free-range self-replicators (grey goo) Black market in nanotech (increases other
