Evolution Of Nanotechnology

Nowadays, the world is getting more complex until the level of technology has increases rapidly years by years. There are smarter and genius people keep doing research to achieve their goals and make the life easier and better. So, in some senses, the term ‘nanotechnology’ is not a new thing in this millennium era as it already existed since 1959. Basically, nano- is one of SI prefix which means a billionth of a meter. To compare a size of nanometer to a meter is like a size of football to a size of the earth. At such scale, the ordinary rules of physics and chemistry are no longer applied. For instance, materials' characteristics, such as their colour, strength, conductivity and reactivity, can differ substantially which make them behave quite

He described a process in which scientists would be able to manipulate and control individual atoms and molecules. Over a decade later, in 1974, Japanese engineering professor Norio Taniguchi had named this field “nanotechnology”. Since then, the evolution and research on nanotechnology became popular and commonly used. It was improvements in microscopy in the 1980s that allowed researchers to see single atoms and then manipulate them on a surface. Then, in 1985 chemists discovered how to create a football shaped molecule from 60 carbon atoms called buckminsterfullerene (also called fullerene, C60 or

The “micro” part of that word itself suggests computer chips work on the microscopic scale but since terms like "microchip" were coined in the 1970s, electronic engineers have found ways of packing more transistor switches into integrated circuits to make computers that are smaller, faster and cheaper than before. This constant increase in computing power goes by the name of Moore's Law, and nanotechnology will ensure it continues well into the future. Everyday transistors in the early 21st-century are just 100–200 nanometers wide, but cutting-edge experiments are already developing much smaller devices. In 1998, scientists made a transistor from a single carbon nanotube. Despite the chips inside computers that use nanotechnology, the displays on everything from iPods, cell phones, laptops and flat screen TVs are also using nanotechnology. They are shifting to organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) which made from plastic films built on the nanoscale. Most of them display evolutionary developments which is the reduction in size of electronic
