Study Notes
Nanotechnology Fundamentals
- Deals with the understanding and control of matter at dimensions between approximately 1 and 100 nanometers, known as the nanoscale.
- Branch of technology that deals with dimensions and tolerances of less than 100 nanometers, especially the manipulation of individual atoms and molecules.
Understanding Nanoscale
- One nanometer is a billionth of a meter or 10^-9 of meters.
- To put it into perspective, there are 25,400,000 nanometers in an inch.
- A sheet of newspaper is about 100,000 nanometers thick.
Comparative Scale
- If a marble were a nanometer, then one meter would be the size of the Earth, illustrating the incredibly small size of nanotechnology.
