Nanotechnology
  1. Definition
    1. Nanotechnology is a new branch of science that refers to structures built from a few hundred atoms and are 1-100nm big. They show different properties to the same materials in bulk, partly because they also have a large surface area to volume ratio and their properties could lead to new developments in computers, building materials
      1. They are formed by a number of methods
        1. Occur naturally in the sea
          1. Formed during combustion
            1. Formed by grinding down materials
          2. Nanoscience and health
            1. Nanoparticles are obviously very small and have a large surface area to volume ratio. This makes them useful but can also make them dangerous. Nanoparticles could easily pass through cell membrane
            2. Two examples of nanotechnology
              1. The 'Nano Carbon Pro' tennis racket uses nanoparticles to increase its strenght
                1. Silver nanoparticles can be used to give fibres antibacterial properties
