Omkar Rane presented on applications of nanotechnology in mobile phones. Nanotechnology involves manipulating matter at the atomic and molecular scales between 1 to 100 nanometers. This allows for super hydrophobic coatings on phone displays that repel water and prevent smudging. OLED and quantum dot displays use organic compounds and nanoparticles to create brighter and more power efficient screens without the need for backlights. Nanotechnology is also used to improve lithium ion batteries by coating carbon nanotubes with silicon or graphene to allow for higher energy capacity without degrading the anode during charging. It helps reduce the size of processors and memory by enabling the manufacturing of smaller semiconductor components.
