NANOTECHNOLOGY
                     NANOTECHNOLOGY
DEFINITION :
 A nanometre is a unit of length in the 
metric system, which equals to one 
billionth of a metre.
 Technology is the making, usage, and 
knowledge of tools, machine and 
techniques, in order to solve a problem 
a specific function.
 Nanotechnology is the study of 
manipulating matters on atomic scale.

Nanotechnology in India
 Initiatives such as DST-Nanomission (nano-biotechnology 
activities) through DBT, ICMR and CoE in Nanoelectronics by 
MeitY support nanoscience, nanotechnology, 
nanobiotechnology and nanoelectronics activities.
 Eighteen sophisticated analytical instruments facilities (SAIFs) 
established by DST across India play a major role in advanced 
characterisation and synthesis of nano-materials for various 
applications.
 CoE in Nanoscience and Nanotechnology established by DST-
Nanomission helps research and PG students in various thrust 
areas.
 Thematic units of excellence (TUEs) for various areas of 
nanoscience and nanotechnology play a major role in product-
based research to support nanotechnology.

Pitfalls of 
Nanotechnology
 One of the major disadvantages of nanotechnology 
at present is that it is very expensive and 
developing it can cost a lot of money..
 Nanotechnology has put a lot of people out of jobs in 
the past few decades. 
 Due to the development of Nano technology, atomic 
weapons can now be made more accessible and can 
also be made more destructive and powerful. 
 Another issue with nanotechnology is that since the 
particles of nanotechnology are very minute, 
problems can crop up from the inhalation of these 
particles.
Conclusion
    Nanotechnology has achieved tremendous progress in 
the past several decades. It is expected that 
nanotechnology will change dentistry, health care, and 
human life more profoundly than many developments 
of the past. As with all technologies, nanotechnology 
carries a significant potential for misuse and abuse on a 
scale and scope never seen before.
    Nanotechnology seems to be where the world is 
headed if technology keeps advancing and competition 
practically guarantees that advance will continue.
