Introduction: What is Nanotechnology?

Nanotechnology: A Maker's Course
Introduction to the Course

************************************************************************

The Shared Materials Instrumentation Facility (SMIF) is the Pratt School of Engineering’s core facility that enables materials, devices, and integrated systems research at Duke University in a variety of fields that include nanotechnology, biomaterials and biomedical engineering, information sciences, optoelectronics, sensor technology, and renewable energy. SMIF is housed in the Fitzpatrick Center for Interdisciplinary Engineering, Medicine and Applied Sciences (FCIEMAS). The facility consists of 7,000 square feet of clean room fabrication space, and nearly 3,000 square feet of specialized laboratory space for characterization and imaging equipment. SMIF is part of the Research Triangle Nanotechnology Network (RTNN) in partnership with similar facilities at North Carolina State University and the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. The RTNN is one of 16 organizations nationwide that comprise the National Science Foundation sponsored National Nanotechnology Coordinated Infrastructure (NNCI) program.
SMIF is open to all trained students, staff, faculty, and researchers and is used for both research and educational purposes. SMIF has nearly 700 users, of which 2/3 come from Duke University and 1/3 come from external academic institutions or industry. SMIF staff trains students and researchers to use the lab equipment and instruments themselves, and provides guidance and support in developing processes and methodologies that utilize these capabilities. Alternatively, SMIF staff can run samples for researchers as a service. SMIF also coordinates various educational and outreach activities.

I have an idea that nanotechnology is not all about making things small but about bringing some ideas of creating a better world in fields of medicine, technology. I am very interested in this. Thanks.

[sagrodasia]

I am very excited about to become Nano Maker. Just started consuming Nano F&B. Now testing for Glove manufacturing

[raleighburner]

So basically the physics involved are about atoms and molecules ...which in turn could actually relate to time travel which in turn could actually change the ageing process which could actually turn our species' into a totally new type of actual living being...

Thank you Dr. Jokers. This is well explained and easy to grasp.

[pddhavale]

Future solutions for any scale of problem, if positively explored. Thanks for your contribution.

[grahamball]

Thank you so much for this explanation, it has really helped this old Kiwi start to understand Nano

If a covid virus were the size of a tennis ball how tall would a 6ft man be. My brain can't seem to comprehend this. Great lecture!

[vasudhasinha]

Brilliantly explained.. thank you Ma'am .

[samuelnjoroge]

Prof. you are a great teacher.Thanks for helping me understand the nanoscale.

[bravejrluckzen]

Thanks for your explanation and keep it up I hope one day it will be me

[drownedwhale]

Thank you, I am really interested in this video helped me to understand the fundamental basics

Nano in Greek (nanus) means dwarf or very tiny

[reachforthelight]

🗣️What the nanotechnology you can also control people 🥼💉🧠⚕️👁️‍🗨️ and you can see through people eyes with nanotechnology 🤔

[cindysheppard]

The report says the duration for THz exposure is 9 hrs. My 20 min is far from 9 hours. Wished he had found a report for the duration we do.

[jamescarter]

Intrigue explanation of nanotechnology It is the wave of the future.

[mehreenmehr]

Thanks my dear mam I can easily understand 😌🌹

[farmakoxeris]

Actually, nano comes from the Greek words νάνος (nanos) that means dwarf.

[robertcampos]

Can this small particle Nano read your thoughts and control a person? I’m investigating to have an idea of which implant was put in me without consent or permission
