TITTLE: NANOTECHNOLOGY
INTRODUCTION
Nano technology can be define as the design, characterization, production, and
application of structures, devices, and systems by controlled manipulation of size and shape at
the nanometer scale (atomic, molecular, and macromolecular scale) that produces structures,
devices, and systems with at least one novel/superior characteristic or property. Scientist has
been trying to analyze and study about nano particles for centuries but their work has been
hampered by their inability to see the structure of nanoparticles. In recent decades, with the aids
of the microscopes scientist has been allowed to see what they are working with. The ability to
see nano-sized materials has opened up a world of possibilities in a variety of industries and
scientific research. Because nanotechnology is essentially a set of techniques that allow
manipulation of properties at a very small scale, it can have many applications in various fields,
such as medicine, environment, energy, information and communication, consumer goods and
heavy industry. Nanotechnology also provide very helpful in biology, chemistry and biology
area. Even in electronics field nanotechnology play its own special role. With the present of this
technology, carrier prospect has been opened wider to young generation. There are few degrees
of study specifically in nanotechnology, so look for a good, well-rounded physics program.
Nanotechnology works at tiny levels of matter, so knowledge of atomic, molecular, chemical and
quantum physics is essential to this field of study. Working knowledge of biochemistry,
chemistry, and biophysics, as well as proficiency with complex mathematics, would also help
qualify someone for this field. There are many different points of view about the
nanotechnology. These differences start with the definition of nanotechnology. Some define it as
any activity that involves manipulating materials between one nanometer and 100 nanometers.
However the original definition of nanotechnology involved building machines at the molecular
scale and involves the manipulation of materials on an atomic (about two-tenths of a nanometer)
scale.

ADVANTAGES OF NANOTECHNOLOGY
General
Products could be much lighter, stronger, and more precise.
Making things very small in size and making small size of memory product with high
storage capacity. The example is chip that having high-speed access of stored data.
Physics
In the field of physics, there many advantage of nanotechnology. Actually,
nanotechnology can revolutionize a lot of electronic product, procedures and applications. The
development of nanotechnology is benefit when it comes to the electronic product. This include
nanotransistors, nano diode, plasma displays, quantum computers, OLED and others. Before the
development of nanotechnology, size of the components of electronic such as transistor, diode
and many more is big. This is the reason why the size of the old television is bigger size
compared to the current television that are flat and save the place.
Nanotechnology also can benefit the energy sector. The development of more effective
energy-producing, energy-absorbing, and energy storage products in smaller and more efficientdevices is possible with this technology. For example is batteries, fuel cells and solar cells can be
built in smaller size and also made it more effective with this technology. We can see in the
market the batteries have many size started from bigger size to smaller size like 5cents.
Besides that, another industry that can benefit from the development of nanotechnology
is the manufacturing sector that will make nanotube, aerogels, nono particles and other similar
items to produce their product. With the help of nanotechnology, the materials produced are
often stronger, more durable and lighter. The product is better than before.

Biology
Nanoparticles are very small and can easily penetrate into the skin. So, it can help in
repairing the skin tissue. Nowadays, many of the cosmetic company on the market use this
technology to make their product. It is because of can easily penetrate into the skin, the product
can prevent skin aging which have the nanotechnology built into it. This technology also used in
preventing the hair loss and graying issues. The product are design to penetrate the upper layer
of the skin and stimulate the new skin cells production which give the skin a new, look pretty,
youthful appearance and attractive. L‘Oreal is the most famous cosmetic in Malaysia. L‘Oreal is
one of the examples cosmetic that use nanotechnology which has brought the fantastic wrinkle-
free cream for the aged women who want look always elegant and gorgeous. The wrinkle-free
cream give the immediate result because the product contain nanosiomes of Pro-Retanol A.
sunscreens and some anti-aging products are the main cosmetic products currently being made
by using nanotechnology. Zinc oxide and titanium dioxide is some of the nanoparticles have
been included in sunscreen
Other than cosmetic, in the medical world, nanotechnology is also can help cure people
faster and without the side effect that other traditional drugs have. The use of these
nanotechnology in medicine include tissue regeneration, bone repair, immunity and even
cures for such ailments like cancer, diabetes, and other life threatening diseases.
Besides that, nanotechnology help expanding ability to characterize genetic makeup will
revolutionize the specificity of diagnostics and therapeutics Nanodevices is one of the
nanotechnologies that can make gene sequencing more efficient. Nanodevices has sensor for
early detection of any disease and can prevent early. Using this technology, it is effective and
less expensive health care using remote and in-vivo devices. It also more durable, rejection-
resistant artificial tissues and organs.

Transportation
The development of nanotechnology helps a lot in transportation. Nowadays, there is
thousands type of vehicles is produced. The function of vehicle becomes sophisticated and
cheaper. This development of transportation such as cars, train, aeroplane and others with thehelp of nanotechnology. It will make transportation today more efficient catalytic converters.
The technology also enable transportation today have thermal barrier and wear resistant
coatings with the use of nanomaterial. The size of battery is small and durable make
transportation more efficient and not too worry if want to travel far. Besides that, it will improve
display of transportation. There are so many different designs to attract the customers. With the
help of technology also created wear-resistant tires.
Computing
A long time ago, thousands of people sharing a mainframes computer. Nowadays, most
of the people has a least one personal computer in one family. A personal computer is one
intended for individual use that oppose to a mainframe computer where at the end user‘s
requests are filtered through operating staff or a time sharing system in which one large
processor is shared by many individuals. Nanotechnology makes the life easier and save the
time. For the future is ubiquitous computing means that thousands of computers sharing each
and every one of us. Computer is embedded in everywhere like walls, clothing, chairs, cars and
other public location.
Energy Production and Utilization
Energy is one of the most important for life. Without energy, we cannot do work
properly because most of the work we need energy. Nanomaterial makes the process productionof energy clean and inexpensive. In addition, nanotechnology improved solar cells. Solar cells
are actually made up of semiconductor materials like silicon and Gallium Arsenic (GaAs).
Advance of technology at this time has been increase the use of solar cell technology in the
process of collecting solar energy from the sun to be converted into electrical energy that can be
used in various industrial applications.

Environment Sector
Nanomaterials are one of the nanotechnologies that have a large surface area. For
example, single-walled carbon nanotubes show ~ 1600 m2 /g. This is equivalent to the size of a
football field for only 4 gms of nanotubes. The large surface area of nanomaterial enables largeabsorption rates of various gases or vapors. Nanotechnology is also helpful in identification of
pollutants through the use of the electronic sensor and thus develops recovery technology of the
environment segment.‘
DISADVANTAGES
Nanotechnology is based on the principles of controlling matter at its basic level. This
technology is about the controlling matter at an atomic and molecular level. Nanotechnology is
expected to prove helpful in the production of new materials. It can prove being useful in a
variety of fields like electronics and medicine. But we need to look at the dangers it may pose to
the life forms on Earth. But little do they know of the hidden dangers and potential risks involved
with Nanotechnology running under the carpet. Some of the problems with nanoscience are
practical while others fall under the ethical realm.
One of the disadvantages of nanotechnology is in terms of security. Nanotechnology can
cause a brutal risk in the field of terrorism. The terrorism and anti groups can make use of
nanotechnology as a new form of torturing the communities as nanotechnology also has the
capability of destructing the human body at the molecular level. This can be done when terrorist
applying this technology to create small, undetectable biological or atomic weaponry.
Ethical concerns of misuse also include the possibility of altering the genetic make-up of
humans by engineering specific traits. Such a procedure would be directed toward the high-
income section of society and could further divide the population into a ―super‖ class of intelligent, strong beings and a lower class of ―average‖ people. The serious complications with
such issues include the idea that the scientific technology would only be available to those who
can afford it. That would mean there would be an underclass of people as the people we are now.

Nanotechnology poses certain serious social implications. Nanotechnological products
may replace natural substances. Farmers and factory workers whose livelihood depends on the
production and distribution of these natural substances will face difficulties. Nanotechnology
will thus lead to people losing their jobs. Agricultural countries will have to face financial losses
if nanomaterials produced in developed countries begin substituting for their agricultural
products.
Nanotechnology also can disturb our ecosystem. For example, silver nanoparticles used
in socks to fight foot odor if released in water can prove detrimental to the purity of water. Silver
nanoparticles are bacteriostatic which is meaning that they limit the growth of bacteria. This may
result in the destruction of bacteria that help in breaking down the organic matter in water
treatment plants. While iron nanoparticles which are effective at removing toxic metals such as
chromium and lead from contaminated water could be lethal to cells and micro-organisms as it is
toxic to neutral cells. Micro-organisms are essential for healthy soil as they recycle nutrients by
decomposing dead matter. Thus the damaged the micro-organism part of the ecosystem could
have a dominant effect on the surrounding area and cause unintentional damage to plant and
animal life.
Nanotechnology also can affect our health. Nanoparticles are being used in a number of
products which are placed in direct contact with skin, including clothing, cosmetics and suncream. Particles on a nanoscale can cause toxic effects in humans as they are so small and thus
have the potential to cross the blood-brain barrier, which could cause mass poisoning or
unwanted neurological effects. Mass poisoning could happen if the coatings that nanotechnology
has the potential to produce poisonous microparticles that can cross over into the brain. Coating
all of our products with particles that are small enough to cross over this barrier runs the risk of
creating a mass poisoning There is a barrier between the blood stream and the brain known as the
blood — brain barrier.

Nanoparticles breathed into the lungs can cause damage and scarring, which over long
periods of exposure can lead to long term breathing difficulties. For example, carbon nanotubes
can be very similar to asbestos fibers as they are strong and can have a similar shape to asbestos
fibers. This asbestos fiber can cause asbestosis, mesothelioma and cancerous cells. The fibers
lodge deep within the lungs and trigger the local immune system, which sends specialized
immune cells that try to digest the fibers and repair any damage by depositing new tissue. As the
fibers are highly resistant, the immune cells cannot digest them, die off, cause more immune
cells to attack the foreign body, and yet more tissue to be deposited. In some cases this can also
cause the cells to become cancerous. Over many years of exposure this leads to thickening of the
lung walls and reduces the amount of oxygen that can be absorbed from the air and decreases the
amount of carbon dioxide that can be breathed out. This causes a shortness of breath and hence a
reduced ability to perform any activities that require exertion and costly oxygen therapy may be
required.

WHAT CAN WE USE NANOTECHNOLOGY FOR?
Most of nanotechnology's benefits will happen decades in the future, but it's already helping to
improve our world in many different ways. We tend to think of nanotechnology as something
new and alien, perhaps because the word "technology" implies artificial and human-made, but
life itself is an example of nanotechnology: proteins, bacteria, viruses, and cells all work on the
nanoscopic scale.
Nanotubes
Carbon nanotubes are among the most exciting of nanomaterials. These rod-shaped carbon
molecules are roughly one nanometer across. Although they're hollow, their densely packed
structure makes them incredibly strong and they can be grown into fibers of virtually any length.
Nanotubes can be divided into 2 types. First, single-wall carbon nanotube (SWCNTs) can be
considered to be formed by the rolling of a single layer of graphite (called a graphene sheet) into
a seamless cylinder. Second, multiwall carbon nanotube (MWCNT) can similarly be considered
to be a coaxial assembly of cylinders of SWCNTs, one within another.
Depending on the direction of hexagons, nanotubes can be classified as either zigzag, armchair
or chiral. Different types of nanotubes have different properties.

When a nanotube is put into an electric field, it will emit electrons from the end of the nanotube
like small cannon. If those electrons are allowed to bombard a phosphor screen then an image
can be created. Several companies (Samsung, in particular) are researching how to use this
technology to replace the bulky electron guns of conventional TV sets with these significantly
smaller carbon nanotube electron guns. In the spring of 2005, Motorola announced a new
―NanoEmissive Display‖ (NED) technology that could make more energy efficient and cost-
effective ultra-flat (<1‖ thick) display screens a reality.

Nanochips
One form of nanotechnology we all use is microelectronics. The "micro" part of that word
suggests computer chips work on the microscopic scale — and they do. But since terms like
"microchip" were coined in the 1970s, electronic engineers have found ways of packing even
more transistor switches into circuits to make computers that are smaller, faster, and cheaper than
ever before. In 1998, scientists made a transistor from a single carbon nanotube. And it's not just
the chips inside computers that use nanotechnology.
The core technology contained in our memory chips is created by the use of arrays of atomic
force probe tips to write, read, and record data bits on a continuous storage medium. A voltage is
passed from the tip into the recording layer. This voltage changes the state of the memory
medium. In the reading mode, a low voltage on the tip is used to sense the 1,0 state of the media
without erasing or affecting the stored data.
The nano-chips are assembled by wafer bonding a media wafer to a tip-array wafer. As seen in
the drawing below, after the wafer bonding process, the nano-chips will be diced and packaged.
Writing, reading, and erasing are done while scanning the media platform in X and Y. The
displays on everything from iPods and cell phones to laptops and flat screen TVs are shifting
to organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs), made from plastic films built on the nanoscale.

Nanomachines
Nanomachines could be made into nanorobots that could be injected into our bodies to carry out
repairs or sent into hazardous or dangerous environments. As is so often the case, nature leads
humans here. Scientists have already found numerous examples of nanomachines in the natural
world. For example, the inventions for detection of DNA hybridization and DNA damage.
Electrochemical DNA hybridization biosensors rely on the conversion of the DNA base-pair
recognition event into a useful electrical signal. Biosensors are small devices employing
biochemical molecular recognition properties as the basis for a selective analysis. The major
processes involved in any biosensors system are analyte recognition, signal transduction, and
readout.
Due to their specificity, speed, portability, and low cost, biosensors offer exciting opportunities
for numerous decentralized clinical applications. One of the uses is detection of DNA
Hybridization and DNA damage.
Electrochemical DNA hybridization biosensors rely on the conversion of the DNA base-pair
recognition event into a useful electrical signal. In such biosensors, the electrode is modified
with single stranded oligonucleotide which acts as a probe to detect the specific DNA sequence
or pair the damaged DNA. The signal is produced when the probe molecule base pairs

(hybridization) with the target or damaged DNA strand. The stepwise detection based on the
hybridization followed by signal transduction has been demonstrated as below
Probe Target
G G = C
A A = T
T T = A
G G = C
T T = A
A A = T
C C = G
C C = GT T = A
G G = C
One-dimensional (1D) nanostructures, such as semiconductor or conducting- polymer nanowires
(NW), are extremely attractive for designing high-density protein arrays. Because of their high
surface-to-volume ratio and novel electron transport properties, their electronic conductance is
strongly influenced by minor surface perturbations (example: binding biomolecules). The
detection of specific base sequences in human, viral and bacterial nucleic acids is becoming
increasingly important in the diagnosis of disease DNA biosensors based on nucleic acid
hybridization processes are rapidly being developed towards the goal of rapid and inexpensive
diagnosis of genetic and infectious diseases. An electrochemical biosensor for the voltammetric
detection of DNA sequences related to the Hepatitis B virus (HBV) and TT virus (TTV) from
polymerase chain reaction (PCR) amplified real samples has been reported.

CONCLUSIONS
Since, nanotechnology have been introduced most of the thing get easier and even an unseen
things can be analyzed and a lot of helpful tools has been developed originates from this
nanotechnology. Even it is having a lot of advantages and widely used for nanomachines,nanochips, and nanotubes and many others advantages but it still got some disadvantages just
like other technology that have been told before. Nanotechnology surely will develop well until
even a small kid knows what nanotechnology used for. While the future is becoming more
difficult to predict with each passing year, so, we conclude that nanotechnology is the next great
technology wave and the next phase of Moore‘s Law. Nanotechnology innovations enable
myriad disruptive businesses that were not possible before, driven by entrepreneurship. Only
time will tell how nanotechnology will affect our lives and hopefully it will bring a lot of
advantages instead of disadvantages.
