NanoTechnology

Building Tools Out of Atoms

• Imagine a tiny box with a length, width, and height each equal to the thickness of a piece of paper. You could fill it with almost 840 quadrillion (a million billion) atoms!

• Nanotechnology is a branch of materials engineering that focuses on tools and objects with a length, width, or height of less than 1,000 nanometers - a scale much smaller than the simplest forms life.

Materials Engineering

Materials - Nature's Tools for Life

• Light but strong alloys for space shuttles, tiny but pure silicon chips for computers, shatter resistant but conductive glass for smart phones - all the creation of brilliant materials engineers.

• Put simply - materials engineering is the science of how to make stuff that does what we want it to do.
