Swing Your Racket... Like Vitas Gerulaitas, the world famous tennis pro. All you need is a little help from carbon nanotubes! Liquid Armor Can nanotechnology help to protect soldiers in combat? Maybe some day. Tiny Muscle MachinesYou move the mouse on your computer and click on a link, but how did your finger move the mouse in the first place? Special Edition: FIRST LEGO League 2006 Competition Missions
Nanotechnology and Cancer Cancer is a very complicated disease. Can nanotechnology help? Sure. What's So Smart About Your Pants? In the past couple of years there has been a lot of talk about nanotechnology and stain resistant pants. Yes they exist, a real product of nanotechnology. Water-Repellent Nanotechnology How can nanotechnology help repel water? In nature, and even on your car windshield! Buckyballs - Nano Soccer Buckyballs are tiny molecules that look like soccer balls, but 10 septillion times smaller! Self-assembly? This is a process called 'self-assembly' What is nanotechnology? Nanotechnology is about really, really small things. Things that are too small to see. So small a thousand of them could fit across a hair. What is a nanometer? A nanometer is one-billionth (that is 1,000,000,000) of a meter. So a hair is 100,000 nanometers across. That's really small. The World's most powerful microscope The world’s most powerful microscopes don’t see things with light or even electrons. What are nanobots? From a search on the internet A nanobot is defined as a nanotechnological robot nanomachine, also called a nanite, which is a mechanical or electromechanical device whose dimensions are measured in nanometers (millionths of a millimeter, or units of 10-9 meter. Nanobots--The Reality So you see on the Internet little robot things that swim around your blood and kill germs……where can I get some? Going up! Some scientists are currently thinking about a space elevator. Would you ride one up into space? The world's tiniest switch To make computers faster and faster, scientists and engineers have had to make the transistors smaller and small. Little tubes of carbon Carbon nanotubes look like chicken wire, hexagons (six-sided) made of carbon atom. They are interesting because they do cool things. Nano Food You might think from reading Nanooze that nanotechnolgy is something that was just invented. Not really. Tiny Cages for Light Nanotechnology is being used to create very tiny particles that have great fluorescent properties. Making Stuff Out of Atoms Everything is made of atoms. So to make anything you need to start off with atoms. Usually a lot of atoms.. |
