Study Notes
Nanotechnology
- Nanotechnology operates at an atomic and molecular scale, typically less than 100 nanometers.
- It utilizes two distinct approaches: top-down and bottom-up.
- Top-down starts with a larger material and removes portions to create nanoscale structures.
- Bottom-up builds structures atom by atom or molecule by molecule.
Nanorobots
- Nanorobots are tiny machines that perform tasks at the nanoscale.
- They are designed for various applications, including medicine, environmental cleanup, and manufacturing.
- Nanorobots are capable of detecting biomarkers at the molecular level.
- In manufacturing, nanorobots reduce material waste by optimizing material distribution.
Applications of Nanotechnology and Nanorobots
- In various industries, nanorobots are used for a variety of tasks.
- In medicine, nanorobots can deliver drugs directly to target cells and aid in diagnostics.
- Environmental cleanup utilizes nanorobots for removing pollutants from water and cleaning up oil spills.
- Energy production is enhanced by nanorobots in solar energy, improving battery durability and efficiency.
- Manufacturing utilizes nanorobots for creating self-healing materials, enhancing performance and reducing costs.
- Nanorobots improve thermoelectric devices by enhancing thermoelectric properties.
