Nanotechnology (Nano Technology) is a science (science) to create machines that are very small, the molecular level. The name is derived from the word meaning Nanometer a billionth of a meter (10 to the minus 9), the size of these machines. Nanotechnology is sometimes also called an engineered at the molecular level, is a multidisciplinary area of a variety of applied science and Engineering in order to design and develop components and systems is very small.
The role of Nanotechnology in the IT (Information Technology), have no doubt. Increasing the speed of the computer from time to time, memory and hard drive capacities increase, the smaller the increase in functionality and Mobile Phones, are concrete examples of Nano Technology Products in the field of IT.
Contribute to the development of nano technology IT can be broadly divided into three.
1. The addition of the density of the number of devices.
Preview simply, if the size of the fruit can be made smaller transistor density of the number of transistors on the same chip size will automatically be bigger.
2. Application allows quantum effects.
3. The addition of new functions to an existing system makes the same material in a small size. But to make a new function when the atoms or molecules of different types arranged in a system device.
The role of other nanotechnologies:
© Nano Technology could double the strength of concrete. - With a mixture of 10 percent nanosilika material strength of concrete to be twice as strong, earthquake resistant, and impermeable to water.
© Nano Technology capable of making the drug in nanogram size. - The drug directly to the target that was about to be treated.
© Nano Technology provides a way out to overcome pollution :
1. The mastery of nanotechnology will reduce fuel use in transportation.
2. Reducing exhaust gas and waste.
3. Nanofilter able to filter out dust, gases and particles in the order of one micron.
4. Nanotechnology will find solar cells that could reduce the energy source of carbon compounds.
5. Nanotechnology enables the discovery of batteries with high capacity and long-lasting.
6. Nanotechnology enabled energy savings due to the power grid is no longer using copper as a conductor, but will use a conductor with zero resistance interests.
7. Nanotechnology enables the use of hydrogen as a new energy source.
© Nanotechnology able to turn the useless material into high-quality goods to compose constituent elements. - Limestone (clay) are converted into nanoparticles and then mixed with the polymer, will produce polymer nanocomposite (PNC) is very strong and elastic.
© Nano Technology able to arrange atoms or molecules of carbon contained in the coal and graphite. - Produces a sparkling diamond.
© Nano Technology can be used on electronic items :
1. Washing Machine "Air Wash ™ System"made by Samsung. washing machines with Silver Nano technology, where ion-ion nano.
- sized silver will eradicate bacteria and fungi. Nano silver ions are also able to withstand up to 30 days so that the laundry washing bacteria-free and odor-causing particles.
2. 'IPod Nano' Apple
•Using nano technology, the iPod is equipped with 4GB and 8GB of storage, and a 5 hour battery kekutan to watch the video, and 24 hours for listening to music.
