2. INTRODUCTION TO NANOTECHNOLOGY
Nanotechnology literally encompasses the fabrication and
application of chemical, physical, and biological systems at
scales ranging from individual molecules or atoms to
submicron dimensions, and also the integration of these
resulting nanomaterials into larger systems.

4. DISCOVERER OF NANOTECHNOLOGY
HISTORY:-
• The First Ever Concept Was Presented In 1959by
The Famous Professor Of Physics Dr. Richard P.
Feynman.
• Invention of the scanning tunnelling microscope
in 1981 and the discovery of fullerene(C6o) in
1985 lead to the emergence of nanotechnology.
• The term “Nanotechnology” had been coined by
Norio Taniguchi in 1974.
8. HAZARDS OF NANOTECHNOLOGY
Nanoparticles can get into the
body through the skin, lungs and
digestive system. This may help
create 'free radicals' which can
cause cell damage and damage to
the DNA. There is also concern that
once nanoparticles are in the
bloodstream they will be able to
cross the blood-brain barrier.
