Nanotechnology: Basic Science and Emerging Technologies

Nanotechnology: Basic Science and Emerging Technologies

After genetic engineering, nanotechnology may well prove to be the 21st centurys great leap forward in scientific knowledge. The first books in this field were science fiction; now what those books predicted is becoming scientific reality. Nanotechnology provides a basic introduction to the discipline, explaining what it is, and exploring the possibilities for the future.

What is the difference between “nanotechnology” and “nanoscience” ?

Question by nancy: What is the difference between “nanotechnology” and “nanoscience” ?

Best answer:

Answer by StargazyPi
As far as I can tell, nanotechnology is the application of nanoscience, which is a much broader field. Technology implies a certain degree of mechanisation or complexity – nanoscience can just be ‘the science of really small things’.

A good example: carbon nanotubes in themselves are the subject of nanoscience – you need to be able to work on a small scale to create them. However, they have great potential as a building material as they are incredibly strong, or alternatively can be used in circuits, which I’d class as nanotechnology.

It’s a very vague difference, I’ll grant you =D

Nokia Morph Concept (long)

Morph is a concept demonstrating some of the possibilities nanotechnologies might enable in future communication devices. Morph can sense its environment, is energy harvesting and self cleaning . Morph is a flexible two-piece device that can adapt its shape to different use modes. Nanotechnology enables to have adaptive materials yet rigid forms on demand. It is also featured in the MoMA online exhibition “Design and the Elastic Mind”. It has been a collaboration project of Nokia Research Center and Cambridge Nanoscience Center.
