Nanotechnology refers to working with structures sized around 100 nanometers or smaller. Some key areas discussed in the document include the history of nanotechnology dating back to 1959, applications in areas like medicine, electronics, energy, and the environment, and both top-down and bottom-up approaches to working at the nanoscale. The future of nanotechnology is presented as holding promise for continued new applications and advancements across many fields.

- 3. INTRODUCTION Nanotechnology refers to a field of applied science that deals with structures devices100 nanometers or smaller in size. To give you an idea of how small that is, it would take eight hundred 100 nanometer particles side by side to match the width of a human hair. 1 nanometer (nm) =10 -9 meter (m). NANOTECHNOLOGY
- 4. Origin And The History Of The Nanotechnology The first use of the concepts in 'nano-technology' (but predating use of that name) was in "There's Plenty of Room at the Bottom," a talk given by physicist Richard Feynman at an American Physical Society meeting at Caltech on December 29, 1959 . The term "nanotechnology" was defined by Tokyo Science University Professor Norio Taniguchi in1974. Cont... NANOTECHNOLOGY

- 12. TOP-DOWN APPROACH These seek to create smaller devices by using larger ones to direct their assembly. Many technologies descended from conventional solid-state silicon methods for fabricating microprocessors are now capable of creating features smaller than 100 nm, falling under the definition of nanotechnology. Giant magnetoresistance -based hard drives already on the market fit this description, as do atomic layer deposition (ALD) techniques. Solid-state techniques can also be used to create devices known as nanoelectromechanical systems or NEMS, which are related to microelectromechanical systems or MEMS. Atomic force microscope tips can be used as a nanoscale "write head" to deposit a chemical upon a surface in a desired pattern in a process called dip pen nanolithography . This fits into the larger subfield of nanolithography. Cont... NANOTECHNOLOGY
- 13. BOTTOM-UP APPROACH These seek to arrange smaller components into more complex assemblies. DNA nanotechnology utilizes the specificity of Watson-Crick basepairing to construct well-defined structures out of DNA and other nucleic acids . Approaches from the field of "classical" chemical synthesis also aim at designing molecules with well-defined shape (e.g. bis-peptides. More generally, molecular self-assembly seeks to use concepts of supramolecular chemistry, and molecular recognition in particular, to cause single-molecule components to automatically arrange themselves into some useful conformation.

- 22. Inorganic Nanotube An inorganic nanotube is a cylindrical molecule often composed of metal oxides, and morphologically similar to a carbon nanotube. Inorganic nanotubes have been observed to occur naturally in some mineral deposits. Inorganic nanotubes are heavier than carbon nanotubes and not as strong under tensile stress, but they are particularly strong under compression, leading to potential applications in impact resistant applications such as bullet proof vests.
