3. 1. Nanotechnology
• Nanotechnology is a field of applied sciences , engineering and
technologies involving the control of matter on conducted at the
nanoscale, which is about 1 to 1000 nanometers
• The control of matter on the atomic and molecular scale
• Nanotechnology are the study and application of extremely small
things
• Nanomaterials may exhibit different physical and chemical
properties compared with the same substances at normal scale,
such as increased chemical reactivity due to greater surface area.

4. Nanotechnology
• Nano + Technology
• A Nanometer is a unit of length in the metric system, equal to one
billionth of a meter(10-9).
• There are 25,400,000 nanometers in an inch
• A sheet of newspaper is about 100,000 nanometers thick
• Technology is the making, usage, and knowledge of tools,
machines and techniques, in order to solve a problem or perform a
specific function
• Most revolve around the study and control of phenomena and
materials at length scales below 100 nm and quite often they
make a comparison with a human hair, which is about 80,000
nm wide

5. How it started
• The ideas and concepts behind nanoscience and nanotechnology
started with a talk entitled “there’s plenty of room at the bottom” by
physicist Richard Feynman at an American Physical Society meeting
at the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) on December 29,
1959, long before the term nanotechnology was used.
• In his talk, Feynman described a process in which scientists would be
able to manipulate and control individual atoms and molecules.
• Over a decade later, in his explorations of ultraprecision machining,
Professor Norio Taniguchi coined the term nanotechnology. It wasn’t
until 1981, with the development of the scanning tunneling
microscope that could “see” individual atoms, that modern
nanotechnology

• Nanotube: Bulletproof business suit made from carbon
nanotube
• Nanofiber: Stimulus the body to regenerate lost or damaged
cell
• nanotech-coated treatments will guide drugs to harmful
cancer cells, while ignoring healthy cells
• Gray Goo: the Nano robots would consume all matter on
earth as they self-replicated, causing an apocalypse
• Damascus steel: blades made from it, could supposedly cut
through stone or metal; how to make it remains unknown

7. 2. Biotechnology
• Biotechnology
• Bio: living organisms and Technology: is a use of techniques and science
to make products or modified processes
• Biotechnology is the study and manipulation of living things or their
component molecules, cells, tissues, or organs for the benefit of
humans (or other animals).
• This term has been used since the 1970’s to reflect the application of
exciting new technologies to the research and development of products
from plant and animal cells. Biotech Bio Byte Biotech Bio Byte
• The domain areas in Biotechnology can be simplified into eight
different concentrations such as Microbial, Agricultural, Animal,
Forensic, Bioremediation, Aquatic, Medical, and Regulatory.

11
12. History
• Biotechnology starts in early societies who collected seeds of wild
plants and domesticated some species of wild animals
• Biotechnology began 10 000 years ago when humans changed from
nomadic hunter – gatherers to farmers
• Occurred in a few sites at around the same time – South East Asia,
the “Fertile crescent” of the Middle East and in south central
Mexico
• Selected varieties of seeds that produced better quantity and quality of
crops and cultivated them
• Domesticated wild animals – kept certain species close to their homes
and allowed them to interbreed
12
13. History of biotechnology
• Early ancestors took advantage of microorganisms and used
fermentation to make breads, cheeses, yogurts, and alcoholic
beverages such as beer and wine.
• Fermentation is when strains of yeast decompose sugars to derive
energy, and in the process they produce ethanol (alcohol) and carbon
dioxide as a waste product
• When bread dough is being made, added yeast ferments sugar
releasing carbon dioxide, which causes the dough to rise and creates
holes in the bread. The alcohol produced by the yeast evaporates when
the bread is cooked.
13
14. Biotechnology
• Two important technique which enable development of
modern biotechnology:
1. Alteration of chemistry of DNA & RNA to introduce into host
organism to change phenotype of host- Genetic engineering
2. Maintenance of sterile ambience to enable growth of desired
microbe/ eukaryotic cell in large quantities for manufacture of
biotechnological products like vaccine, enzymes, beverages,
drugs etc.- Chemical engineering
14
15. 3. Blockchain technology
• Block chain technology is an emerging technology that changes
the way applications and users interact with the internet.
• It is a distributed database that maintains a chain(i.e.
chronologically ordered) of blocks(i.e. records).
• Block chain technology is a structure that stores transactional
records, also known as the block, of the public in several
databases, known as the “chain,” in a network connected through
peer-to-peer nodes. Typically, this storage is referred to as a
‘digital ledger.’
• Every transaction in this ledger is authorized by the digital
signature of the owner, which authenticates the transaction and
safeguards it from tampering. Hence, the information the digital
ledger contains is highly secure.
15
16. History : Block chain technology
• Noble Prize-winning economist Milton Friedman said in 1999, “The
one thing that is missing is a reliable e-cash, whereby on the internet
you can transfer funds from A to B without A knowing B or B
knowing A. It would be one of the major forces for reducing the role
of government.”
• 10 years later, The block chain was invented by a person (or group of
people) using the name Satoshi Nakamoto in 2008 to serve as the
public transaction ledger of the cryptocurrency bitcoin.
• There is no information about the developer of this projects. The
project is bitcoin.
16
18. Block chain Explained
• When we say the words “block” and “chain” in this context,
we are actually talking about digital information (the “block”)
stored in a public database (the “chain”).
• “Blocks” on the blockchain are made up of digital pieces of
information. Specifically, they have three parts:
• Blocks store information about transactions like the date, time, and
dollar amount of your most recent purchase from Amazon.
• Blocks store information about who is participating in transactions.
• Blocks store information that distinguishes them from other blocks.
Much like a unique code called a “hash” that allows us to tell it
apart from every other block. Hashes are cryptographic codes
created by special algorithms.
18
19. Characteristics
• Openness
• Database is open, in
principle, to anyone.
• Based on open source
software technology.
• Decentralization
• Decentralized ledger
• Distributed Networking
• Security
• Encryption using Public Key
Cryptography.
• Hash function.
• Resilience
• Archiving information
• Database replication
• And many more:
Immutability, consensus,
traceability…
19
20. How Block chain Works
• When a block stores new data it is added to the block chain.
In order for a block to be added to the block chain, four
things must happen:
• A transaction must occur.
• That transaction must be verified. After making that purchase, your
transaction must be verified. With other public records of
information, like the Securities Exchange Commission or your
local library, there’s someone in charge of vetting new data entries.
• That transaction must be stored in a block. After your transaction
has been verified as accurate, it gets the green light.
• That block must be given a hash. once all of a block’s transactions
have been verified, it must be given a unique, identifying code
called a hash.
20
21. Why do people use the peer-to-peer network?
• The primary goal of peer-to-peer networks is to share
resources and help computers and devices work
collaboratively, provide specific services, or execute specific
tasks.
• As mentioned earlier, P2P is used to share all kinds of
computing resources such as processing
power, network bandwidth, or disk storage space.
21
22. Application of block chain
• Numerous Blockchain applications and platforms are widely
known, starting with Bitcoin, followed by Ethereum, which
act as a platform for building decentralized applications using
smart contracts and inspired a whole new concept of “token
economy.”
• Emerging applications in voting, digital identity, banking, and
health
22
23. 4. Cloud and quantum computing
• A quantum computer is a machine that performs calculations based on
the laws of quantum mechanics, which is the behavior of particles at
the sub-atomic level.
• Cloud computing is a way of accessing compute and storage systems
without actually owning and doing active management of the
resources.
• Cloud computing is a model for enabling convenient, on-demand
network access to a shared pool of configurable computing resources
(e.g., networks, servers, storage, applications, and services) that can be
rapidly provisioned and released with minimal management effort or
service provider interaction.”

"quantum mechanics," a basic theory in physics.
• The scale of atoms and molecules, matter behaves in a quantum
manner
• A quantum computer is a machine that performs calculations
based on the laws of quantum mechanics, which is the
behavior of particles at the sub-atomic level.
• In existing computers, all information is expressed in terms of
0s and 1s, and the entity that carries such information is
called a "bit.“
28
29. Quantum Computers Vs Computers
• A bit can be in either a 0 or 1 state at any one moment in time
• A quantum computer, on the other hand, uses a “quantum bit”
or "qubit" instead of a bit.
• A qubit also makes use of two states (0 and 1) to hold
information, but in contrast to a bit,
• In this state, a qubit can take on the properties of 0 and 1
simultaneously at any one moment.
• Accordingly, two qubits in this state can express the four
values of 00, 01, 10, and 11 all at one time
29

• In October 2019, Google made a big announcement. It
announced its 53-qubit quantum computer named
Sycamore had achieved ‘quantum supremacy.’ That’s
when quantum computers can complete tasks
exponentially more quickly than their classical
counterparts.
• In this case, Google said its quantum machine
completed a task in 200 seconds that would have taken
the world’s most powerful computer 10,000 years to
complete.

• Autonomic computing is a computer's ability to manage itself
automatically through adaptive technologies that further
computing capabilities and cut down on the time required by
computer professionals to resolve system difficulties and other
maintenance such as software updates.
• The move toward autonomic computing is driven by a desire for
cost reduction and the need to lift the obstacles presented by
computer system complexities to allow for more advanced
computing technology
• It is one of the building blocks of pervasive computing, an
anticipated future computing model in which tiny - even invisible
- computers will be all around us, communicating through
increasingly interconnected networks leading to the concept of
The Internet of Everything (IoE).
38
39. Autonomic computing (AC)
• IBM has defined the four areas of automatic computing
• Self-Configuration
• Self-Healing (error correction)
• Self-Optimization (automatic resource control for optimal
functioning)
• Self-Protection (identification and protection from attacks in a
proactive manner)
• Knows itself, adapt itself, open itself
• Characteristics that every autonomic computing system
should have include automation, adaptivity and awareness.
39
40. Autonomic computing (AC)
• AC was designed to mimic the human body’s nervous system-in that
the autonomic nervous system acts and reacts to stimuli independent
of the individual’s conscious input-an autonomic computing
environment functions with a high level of artificial intelligence while
remaining invisible to the users.
• Just as the human body acts and responds without the individual
controlling functions (e.g., internal temperature rises and falls,
breathing rate fluctuates, glands secrete hormones in response to
stimulus), the autonomic computing environment operates organically
in response to the input it collects.
40
41. IBM has set conditions that define an AC
1. The system must know itself in terms of what resources it has access
to, what its capabilities and limitations are and how and why it is
connected to other systems
2. The system must be able to automatically configure and reconfigure
itself depending on the changing computing environment.
3. The system must be able to optimize its performance to ensure the
most efficient computing process.
4. The system must be able to work around encountered problems by
either repairing itself or routing functions away from the trouble.
41
42. IBM has set conditions that define an AC
1. The system must detect, identify and protect itself against various
types of attacks to maintain overall system security and integrity.
2. The system must be able to adapt to its environment as it changes,
interacting with neighboring systems and establishing
communication protocols.
3. The system must rely on open standards and cannot exist in a
proprietary environment.
4. The system must anticipate the demand on its resources while
keeping transparent to users.
42
43. Benefits

• Fewer personnel will be required to manage the systems.
• Reduced deployment and maintenance cost , time and increased
stability of IT systems through automation
• Allowing companies to better manage their business through IT
systems that are able to adopt and implement directives based on
business policy, and are able to make modifications based on changing
environments.”
• Another benefit of this technology is that it provides server
consolidation to maximize system availability, and minimizes cost and
human effort to manage large server farms
43
44. 6. Computer vision
• Computer vision is a field that includes methods for acquiring,
processing, analyzing, and understanding images
• Computer vision spans all tasks performed by biological vision
systems, including "seeing" or sensing a visual stimulus,
understanding what is being seen, and extracting complex information
into a form that can be used in other processes.
• Computer vision is the science and technology of machines that see.
Concerned with the theory for building artificial systems that obtain
information from images. The image data can take many forms, such
as a video sequence, depth images, views from multiple cameras, or
multi-dimensional data from a medical scanner
44
47. History : Computer vision
• 1966: Minsky assigns computer vision as an undergrad summer
project
• 1960’s: interpretation of synthetic worlds
• 1970’s: some progress on interpreting selected images
• 1980’s: ANNs come and go; shift toward geometry and increased
mathematical rigor
• 1990’s: face recognition; statistical analysis in vogue
• 2000’s: broader recognition; large annotated datasets available; video
processing starts; vision & graphis; vision for HCI; internet vision, etc.
Guzman ‘68 Ohta Kanade ‘78 Turk and Pentland ‘91
47
49. How computer vision works
• Computer vision is all about pattern recognition
• When a computer sees an image, it only sees an array of
numbers that represent intensities and colors of the image, but
not the image itself.
• There’s no context, and that’s what’s needed to get algorithms
to comprehend an image the same way a human does
• By feeding a Machine Learning model enough data, we can
make it highly accurate.
49
50. Applications of computer vision
• Below are examples of computer vision:
• Autonomous Vehicles - Self-driving cars need to gather information about
their surroundings to decide how to behave.
• Facial Recognition - Businesses and personal electronics use facial
recognition technology to "see" who is trying to gain access to something. It
has become a powerful security tool.
• Image Search and Object Recognition - Many applications use data vision
theory to identify objects within images, search through catalogues of images,
and extract information out of images.
• Robotics - Most robotic machines, often in manufacturing, need to see their
surroundings to perform the task at hand. In manufacturing machines may be
used to inspect assembly tolerances by "looking at" them.
50

data is used to build up a component in layers by depositing
materials.
• It eliminates many constraints imposed by conventional
manufacturing
• The term 3D printing is increasingly used as a synonymous for
AM. However, the better is more accurate in that it describes a
professional production technique which is clearly distinguishes
from conventional methods of material removal.
60
61. Additive manufacturing (3D Printing)
• The process of joining materials to make objects from three
dimensional (3D) model data, usually layer by layer

• 3D Printer slices file into numerous digital cross-sectional,
and builds the model by joining together successive layers
• Finish
• Final 3D printed model is cleaned to remove overhung
material and is polished/painted and made ready for use
62
63. Functional principle
• The system starts by applying a thin layer of the powder
material to the building platform.
• A powerful laser beam then fuses the powder at exactly the
points defined by the computer-generated component design
data.
• Platform is then lowered and another layer of powder is
applied.
• Once again the material is fused so as to bond with the layer
below at the predefined points.
63
64. Functional principle
• A method of manufacturing known as ‘Additive
manufacturing’, due to the fact that instead of removing
material to create a part, the process adds material in
successive patterns to create the desired shape.
• Main areas of use:
