Engineers are taking it very, very seriously, he said. For every gallon of gas in car, nanotechnology created higher level of refinement for the fuel, and tires on the same car are capable of getting 50 to 60,000 miles worth of wear, thanks to manufactured nanocarbons that increase their usable lifespan. Nanotechnology can be both the size of viruses to zap viruses that are harmful or clean plaque from our arteries. There are many opportunities for students to involved, particularly at the universities, which will be the source of much of the science and technical development.
TRW is already active in other areas at the Bourns College of Engineering participation in the advisory council, financial support, research grants, equipment donations, employees who are lecturers and interest in hiring graduates. Nanotechnology is like wave that will affect us all. There are similar initiatives by European and Asian countries, he said.In the basic of human needs health, food, shelter and communications, for example nanotechnology will affect business in each area. lot of people say this is going to be major industry almost every company is interested, to some degree, in nanotechnology.
This never happen, but an ultimate goal would be to teach the nanobots to build things with the raw materials that they are given. Naiditch, wearing his philosophers hat, warns that the problem with business applications is that theres lot of good and lot of harm.Naiditchs company, Raytheon, is involved with some major nanotechnology programs. It looks like its slow from outside, but in point of fact, it is feverish pitch and its accelerating!Chief Engineer David Naiditch, of the El Segundo Division of Raytheon, considers nanotechnology through two academic points of view.
Theres not much that will be untouched, Starkovich continued. He also predicted development of much more efficient motors for air conditioning and electrical lighting, saying there is significant amount of power wasted in generating visible light. Starkovich explained that businesses are looking at using the nano scale to find new solutions for new problems. Nanotechnology created the eversmaller grains of silver in the film you load in your camera. Eventually, nanotechnology could change the way almost anything is manufactured by assembling things one molecule or one atom at time to the things we want.
