Nano technology Definition and 18 Threads

Why can't the Novosiolov and Geim's method of getting graphe (with an adhesive tape) be upscaled to manufacturing? It is said "because this method is based on the handwork", but aren't we really able to do this, for example, with robotics as an iterative process? I guess, there is a problem with...

How hard and costy is it to manufacture a layer of substance a few nanometers wide and how useful such structures would be?

I recently read that there is enough hydrogen in the human body to lift 195 lbs off the ground. I know this sounds super-silly but if we ever develop nanites; could they manipulate the hydrogen and allow us to float?

View from above of fused silica chip. In the image is fused silica and the black line is burned fused silica caused by laser, when I cast droplet that contains molecules, never mind which kind of aggregation I tried different kinds of molecules, the aggregation is more preferably on the burned...

We most often witness the presentation of quantum dots in viles or containers which are excited via UV light. I am more interested in their electrical excitation. Could I simply take a sample of QDs from one of those viles and passing an electrical current through that sample excite the...

My questions are related to the article "Self-hybridization within non-Hermitian localized plasmonic systems" http://sci-hub.tw/10.1038/s41567-017-0023-6 I am aware that within the nanophotonics field, the use of precisely engineered nanoparticles in space and time leads to arrays in the form...

What is the reason for enhancement in the intensity of emission due to the introduction of a shell in quantum dots? I do understand the blue shift in quantum dots but how does a shell enhance it?

What is the protocol used to prepare poly (lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) nanoparticle? What are the different methods of producing it?

To be more precise, which nano particles are being used or can be used to deliver tuberculosis drugs in the human body?

Hello All, I am currently a junior in physics and have set sights on Materials Science (Electronic Materials/Nanotechnology) for grad school. My school does not offer MS.Eng as a degree and so the only Materials Science course I can enroll in as the general "Introduction to Materials Science...

Homework Statement The problem is given. Homework EquationsThe Attempt at a Solution I tried to solve the question as if there is a nanowire between two reservoirs and got an answer. But I don't know what should I do to measure thermal conductivity in a thin film. My formula for k in a...

I would like to do research on nano medicine such as creating drug delivery systems and smart drugs i need to know what kind of bachelor i should do and which universities offer the best research in this area in America and how to progress from the bachelor to a full time researcher ?

i'm interested in studying nanotechnology at La trobe University and i want to know whether this is a good degree and whether i can do an engineering degree for my masters ?

Hello, I would like to know that why carbon is used in nano technology to build nano tubes and other? Is there any other metal which is used to construct the devices of nano technology?

I want to go into nanotechnology but also keep my options open for employment purposes when I graduate. At the moment I'm Chemistry & Material Science double major and I thought that'd be a good combo however at the moment I'm thinking, would MatSci for a B.S be oddly too specific for a B.S...

I slipped on ice and broke my wrist. Given our collective knowledge of the physics of slipping, isn't it possible that nano techology exists that allows us to add a non-slip substance to the soles of boots and shoes? Lev

Is it wise to go for an education in nano technology, or is it just a big hype? Nano technology is often divided into bio nanotechnology, nano electronics and nano material technology. Which one would you go for?

I have always thought that people on this planet could invent nano technolgy its like another step from ordinary technology and it improves things like electricity and power to travel in space and I believe it won't be out until 2090 or 3100 so it won't be long until I find more about this so...
