Powerpoint Presentation of Nanotechnology in Medicine
The prefix “nano”is a Greek word for “dwarf” One nanometer (nm) is equal to one-billionth of a meter About a width of 6 carbon atoms or 10 water molecules A human hair is approximately 80,000 nm wide Red blood cells is 7000 nm wide Atoms are smaller than 1 nanometer Molecules and some proteins are between 1 nm and “The manufacturing technology of the 21st century" The study and manufacture of devices of molecular dimensions, in the range of nanometers or one-billionth of a meter Most of industrial manufacturing processes are based on top-down technologies -- i.e., they take larger objects and make them smaller yielding products of fairly high precision and complexity.
