2. What is nanotechnology?
• Nanotechnology is the manipulation of matter to
make it do what we want it to do at the
molecular or Nano scale.
3. How Small Is Nanotechnology?
• Ant 5 million nanometers long
• A red blood cell 7500 nanometers long
• A dna 2nm long
4. The three main points
• 1/ The use of nanotechnology to manipulate molecules in
order to form better products.
• 2/ The use of nanotechnology in medicine
• 3/ The use of nanotechnology in energy
5. I/The use of nanotechnology in order to form
better products.
• “Nanotechnology will let us build computers that are
incredibly powerful. We'll have more power in the
volume of a sugar cube than exists in the entire world
today”.
Ralph Merkle
• A-Nanotechnology is an enabling technology.
Ralph Merkle is a researcher on the molecular nanotechnology
6.
7. • B- Nanotechnology will change everything that
man made during this century.
But what does nanotech offers us today?
• 1/Nanotech can make materials germ free.
2/It can eliminate bad odors.
3/It can be used to strengthen materials
9. II/The nanomedicine
• “If we can reduce the cost and improve the quality of medical
technology through advances in nanotechnology, we can more
widely address the medical conditions that are prevalent and
reduce the level of human suffering”.

10. How Nanomedicine can cure cancer?
• Nanotechnology has been used for the first time to
destroy cancer cells with a highly targeted package of
"tumor busting" genes.
• Its benefits:
• Deliver nanoparticles directly to the cancer tissues
• Minimize undesirable toxicity to the rest of the body
• This nanoparticle therapy leads to the extermination of the
tumor from the body.
• It does not leave Secondary Effects on the body.
12. Other uses of Nanomedicine
• Nanomedicine can be used to:
• Clean arteries
• Attack viruses
• And even to reverse the aging process.
• All of those uses can be done by a revolutionary object
named the “nanorobot”.
How is that?
13. Nanorobots
• The entry of nanorobots will literally revolutionize the world
of medicine. These miniature devices would not only be able
of entering into the body and detecting the diseases
and infection, but they will also be able of repairing internal
injuries.

14. III/ Nanotechnology & Energy:
• Nanotechnology is being used in several applications to
improve the efficiency of energy generating.
15. What Are Its Benefits?
A-Increase the electricity generated by windmills.
B-Generating electricity from waste heat.
C-Clothing that generates electricity.
