NanoTechnology... closing in on a cure

Science of the 21st Century & Beyond !

From Wall Street to Beijing China

NanoTechnology is the Science of the 21st Century & Beyond!

It all started with Presidential Executive Order #12881, Nov.23,1993.

Before that it was just a glimmer in the eye of scientist around

the world.

What is NanoTechnology?

NanoTechnology is the understanding and control of matter at dimensions between approximately 1 and 100 nanometers, where unique phenomenaenable novel applications. Encompassing nanoscale science, engineering, and technology, nanotechnology involves imaging, measuring, modeling, and manipulating matter at this length scale.

A nanometer is one-billionth of a meter. A sheet of paper is about 100,000 nanometers thick; a single gold atom is about a third of a nanometer in diameter. Dimensions between approximately 1 and 100 nanometers are known as the nanoscale. Unusual physical, chemical, and biological properties can emerge in materials at the nanoscale. These properties may differ in important ways from the properties of bulk materials and single atoms or molecules

What is NanoParticle Safe?

Towards a Definition of Inorganic NanoParticles from an Environmental, Health and Safety Perspective

Nature NanoTechnology, Duke University, Mark R. Weisner, Melanie Auffran, Jerome Rose, Jean-Yves Bottero, Gregory V. Lowry, Jean-Pierre Jolivet

The regulation of engineered nanoparticles requires a widely agreed definition of such particles. Nanoparticles are routinely defined as particles with sizes between about 1 and 100 nm that show properties that are not found in bulk samples of the same material. Here we argue that evidence for novel size-dependent properties alone, rather than particle size, should be the primary criterion in any definition of nanoparticles when making decisions about their regulation for environmental, health and safety reasons. We review the size-dependent properties of a variety of inorganic nanoparticles and find that particles larger than about 30 nm do not in general show properties that would require regulatory scrutiny beyond that required for their bulk counterparts - (pdf)
