What is it? 
1
Eigler et al. NATURE 363, 1993 
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. 
How is nanoscience different than 
•Chemistry 
•Biology 
•Physics 
What distinguishes nanoscience 
from other sciences?

Richard Feynman is the father of nanotechnology. 
with a talk entitled “There’s Plenty of Room at the 
Bottom” at an American Physical Society meeting at the 
California Institute of Technology (CalTech) on December 
29, 1959, long before the term nanotechnology was used. 
Feynman described a process in which scientists would be able to manipulate 
and control individual atoms and molecules. 
Over a decade later, in his explorations of ultraprecision machining, 
Professor Norio Taniguchi coined the term nanotechnology. It wasn't 
until 1981, with the development of the scanning tunneling microscope 
that could "see" individual atoms, that modern nanotechnology began.

is an instrument for imaging surfaces at the atomic level. Its 
development in 1981 earned its inventors, Gerd 
Binnig and Heinrich Rohrer (at IBM Zürich), the Nobel Prize 
in Physics in 1986 
For an STM, good resolution is considered to be 
0.1 nm lateral resolution and 0.01 nm depth 
resolution.[3]With this resolution, individual atoms within 
materials are routinely imaged and manipulated. The STM 
can be used not only in ultra-high vacuum but also in air, 
water, and various other liquid or gas ambients, and at 
temperatures ranging from near zero kelvin to a few 
hundred degrees Celsius.[4] 
The STM is based on the concept of quantum tunneling. 
When a conducting tip is brought very near to the surface to 
be examined, abias (voltage difference) applied between 
the two can allow electrons to tunnel through the vacuum 
between them. The resulting tunneling current is a function 
of tip position, applied voltage, and the local density of 
states (LDOS) of the sample.[4] Information is acquired by 
monitoring the current as the tip's position scans across the 
surface, and is usually displayed in image form. 5
DEFINITION OF NANOTECHNOLOGY 
Nanotechnology is the creation 
of functional materials, devices, 
and systems through control of 
matter on an atomic or 
molecular scale. 
The creation and use of 
structures, devices and systems 
that have novel properties and 
functions because of their small 
and/or intermediate size.

UNIQUENESS OF NANOMATERIALS 
• Grains, pores, interface thickness and defects are of 
similar dimensions. 
• Nanomaterials have a large surface area but their 
volume is very small. 
• Improve mechanical properties (increased strength, 
toughness etc.,) 
• High melting point compounds.
INTERDISCIPLINARY APPROACH REQUIRED 
Engineering 
NANOTECHNOLOGY 
Bioscience Physical Sciences
nanotechnology were developed for many current 
challenges facing the international community, including: 
• Clean, secure, affordable energy; 
• Stronger, lighter, more durable materials; 
• Low-cost filters to provide clean drinking water; 
• Medical devices and drugs to detect and treat diseases more effectively 
with fewer side effects; 
• Lighting that uses a fraction of the energy associated with conventional 
systems; 
• Sensors to detect and identify harmful chemical and biological agents; 
andTechniques to clean up harmful chemicals in the environment.

Applications of Nanotechnology in industrial and technical fields: 
13 
• ExxonMobil is using zeolites, minerals with pore sizes of less than 1 nm, as a 
more efficient catalyst to break down or crack large hydrocarbon molecules to 
form gasoline. 
• IBM has added nanoscale layering to disk drives, thus exploiting the giant 
magnetoresistive effect to attain highly dense data storage. 
• Gilead Sciences is using nanotechnology in the form of lipid spheres, also known 
as liposomes, which measure about 100 nm in diameter, to encase an anticancer 
drug to treat the AIDS-related Kaposi’s sarcoma. 
• Carbon Nanotechnologies, a company co-founded by buckyball discoverer 
Richard E. Smalley, is making carbon nanotubes more affordable by using a new 
and more efficient manufacturing process. 
• Nanophase Technologies is utilizing nanocrystalline particles, incorporated into 
other materials, to produce tough ceramics, transparent sun blocks, and catalysts 
for environmental uses, among other applications.
