NANOTECHNOLGY

NANOTECHNOLGY

On December 29, 2009, we celebrated the golden jubilee of Nanotechnology. It was on this day, fifty years ago professor Richard P. Feynman ( Nobel Laureate 1965} delivered the celebrated talk” there's plenty of rooms at the bottom which predicted the era of nanotechnolgy- the technology of nanometer scale objects.
He proposed a new kind of technology by assembling things atom by atom,in today's terms” molecular nanotechnology itself came in to being in 1974, due to professor Norio Tanijuchi.
It is possible to direct tiny diagnostic and therapentic objects in to the body and even in to specific cells. Although such surgeons do not travel through the blood vessels as if now, diagnostic and therapeutic agents do. Single elements of electronic storage are now in nano scale so that entire libraries can be written in hand held devices molecules have been shown to store information.
It is now possible to see the evolution in size, shape and properties of pieces of matter atom by atom- as object is made. As a result, we can probe questions such as the electrical conductivity of a single DNA strand or strength of single chemical bonds.
Global Nanotechnology research budget is substantial in the U.S alone, the projected budget for by 2010 is 1.6 billion dollar.
