The World Is Getting Smaller
What is
Nanotechnology?
the science that deals with doing things in a very small way, and it is being explored and developed all over the globe
Many scientists say nanotechnology will produce the next industrial revolution.
How small are these machines?
The period at the end of this sentence can contain about 100 micrometers.
which is equal to 100,000 nanometers.
Nano comes from the Greek word for dwarf.
what is Micro machines?
can also be used to make our environment safer.
No chemicals would need to be stored or transported
When could all of this happen?
Scientists predict that much of this is possible in the next 30 years.
where is the area that have a biggest impact?
medical science.
Thousands or even millions of tiny machines can be sent into the human body with specific missions.
For example, they can be designed to find and destroy cancer cells or viruses
Minute robots meaning
called “nanobots,” are being developed that will revolutionize manufacturing.
for example, scientists predict that cars can be built in a giant container into which raw materials and microscopic machines have been placed.
What possibilities in using such tiny machines in surgery?
machines so small you can swallow them in a capsule or inject them into your bloodstream through a needle.
these tiny robots could be sent into your arteries to clean them. An intelligent machine in your heart would look around to find the problem and then repair it. If you needed an operation, it would be almost like swallowing the surgeon.
