What is Nanotechnology?
•
Nanotechnology is a branch of science
and engineering devoted to the design
and production of extremely small
electronic devices and circuits built from
individual atoms and molecules.
•

Nanotechnology comprises any
technological developments on the
nanometer scale, usually 0.1-100nm.

Ethical Issues in Nanotechnology
•
Advantages
–
Reduced energy use
–
Better medical treatment
–
Lower costs for computing
•
Disadvantages
–
Environmental risks
–
Privacy risks
–
Social and political risks
•
Other Issues
–
When and how to regulate or not regulate the
technological development?
–
How to address inevitable ethical challenges?

Effects of Nanotechnology over

Wireless Communication (1)
•
The various effects of Nanotechnology
over the Wireless Communication devices
are classified by:
–
Wireless Technologies Advancements
–
Demand for Wireless Communication
–
Necessity for low-cost high-efficient system
–
Wireless Connectivity
–
Nanotechnology effect on Multimedia Market

Molecular Nanotechnology
•
Molecular nanotechnology ("MNT") is an
anticipated manufacturing technology that would
allow precise control and positional assembly of
molecule-sized building blocks through the use
of Nano-scale manipulator arms.
•
Nanotechnology was first introduced in 1959, in
a talk by the Nobel Prize-winning physicist
Richard Feynman, entitled "There's Plenty of
Room at the Bottom".

Future Predictions of

Nanotechnology
•
Earrings that become your cell phone by
allowing listening amplification and location-
focused microphones to interface with voice-
activated technology.
•
Chips in your jacket, shirt, blouse, or pants that
can be downloaded with your ID, allowing fast
access to secure items.
•
Holographic lenses in eyeglasses that work like
bifocals. While one hemisphere of the lens is
unaffected, the other is connected to networks of
information, providing the ultimate in virtual
reality for users.
