NANOTECHNOLOGY

Nanotechnology is the study of particles up to one millionth of a millimeter. The research finds more and more applications in different fields. The Nano scientists have a News Publication called NANODOT. It lists some developments in the following fields:

A molecular imaging system, you might say a microscope seeing particles 1000 times smaller than before.

A new DVD system that can store 200,000 times as much as the present DVD's in use now.

Entering into Cancer Cells and "silencing" its gene information.

Delivering anticancer drugs directly into cancer cells

Turning the radiation of Nuclear waste into electricity. There is enough energy left there to produce twenty times more than thermoelectric materials.

More efficient and cleaner components for fuel cells

Nanotools such as sensors, electronics and medical devices

Molecular "motors" to find DNA molecules

Nanovalves to deliver medication directly to the troubled cells

Nanotechnology may soon be used to produce smaller chips with more functions for your computer. They are talking "terabytes" (1000 gigabytes)

Robots are coming, with the help of Nanotechnology

Three dimentional structures are already being made by using Nanotechnology and DNA. Just to prove they can do it!
