Description

Nanotechnology (also called nanotech) is a branch of materials science that deals with manipulating matter on the atomic scale. It is so called because this field deals with engineering on the scale of a billionth of a meter, also known as a nanometer. Nanotechnology seeks to solve a wide range of problems from the construction of atomic scale machines to changing material properties at the atomic level.

Use the Internet, Argosy University library resources, and your textbook to research the field of nanotechnology.

Write a paper discussing some of the basic scientific and technical concepts of nanotechnology. Do the following in your paper:

  • Discuss current or future applications of nanotechnology in fields such as medicine, engineering, space exploration, fuel cell development, air and water purification, and agriculture.
  • Provide at least three examples of real-world applications in use or in development with reliable references.

Write a 2–3-page paper in Word format. Apply APA standards to citation of sources.

Current and Future Applications of Nanotechnology
Nanotechnology is a Science in the field of Engineering that is conducted at a nanoscale.
This means that materials are manipulated on a scale of 1 and 100 nanometers. Nanotechnology
as a study tries to find applicability of extremely small things across all Science fields including
Physics, Engineering, Chemistry, Material Science, and Biology (Lee, 2016).
Basically, Nanotechnology involves the ability to control individual atoms and
molecules. By so doing, Scientists today are deliberately coming up with a wide variety of ways
of making materials by manipulating them at the nanoscale in order to enhance their properties in
ways such as creating lighter materials, creating materials with higher strength, creating
materials with better control of the light spectrum as well as better chemical reactivity in
comparison with materials manipulated at a large scale (Lee, 2016).. This paper is going to
explore the various current and future applications...
