The future of robotics and nanotechnology in medicine

Image
Robotics and nanotechnology in medicine are the new buzzwords which are taking people with surprise. People cannot really imagine that surgery on the human body can be conducted with the help of robots Or for that matter machines that are so small that they can enter the bloodstream without harming the body to repair it. Nanotechnology and robotics   are very much here and changing the way people are being treated now. Doctors have started using robotic arms and other aids to conduct precision surgery. Nowadays complex surgeries like transplants and ophthalmic procedures are now being done with help of robots. Imagine conducting surgical procedures at the micro level the level which a surgeon cannot perform with his bare hands or normal vision. Surgeries like joining the nerve endings and replacing limbs etc. All of this was not possible a few decades back however with the growth of nanotechnology and robotics such kind of procedures are now possible. The application of nanotec

What is the scope of ceramic engineering?

Image
“Ceramic Engineering is the technology of creating non-metallic & inorganic objects having crystalline structure, through the process of heat, or precipitation reactions at the lower temperatures.” Ceramics are used in the gas burner nozzles, Space Shuttle program, ballistic protection, bio-medical implants, nuclear fuel uranium oxide pellets, jet engine turbine blades, and missile nose cones. There is lots of opportunity in private & public sector. You can make your career in various domains such as Medicine Optical  fibers Construction Sports Electronics Airplane Military Transportation. A graduate in ceramic engineering can find numerous job opportunities in various domains like medicine, mining, aerospace, food and chemical industry, electronics, refinery, Industrial & Transmission Electricity and Guided Light Wave Transmission. Other domains where a ceramic engineer can find job

How nanotechnology benefit the agriculture and allied sector?

Nanotechnology in agriculture  is the application of extremely small tools such as sensors, which can be used for agricultural development. Nanotechnology is a new revolution in industries and has the potential to bring about drastic changes in the agricultural industry . Development of new nanotech-based tools and equipment help increase efficiency and overcome challenges faced by the agricultural industry. Nanotech-based tools significantly benefit the agricultural sector; they aid in early detection of diseases, improve plant’s ability to absorb nutrients, and promote molecular treatment of diseases. Implementation of nanotechnology in the form of small sensors and monitoring devices have created positive impact on the future uses of precision farming methodologies. Nanoscale carriers can be utilized for the efficient delivery of fertilizers, pesticides, herbicides, and plant growth regulators. Its mechanism helps prevent degradation of plants, thereby reducing the c

What is the difference between nanomaterial and molecular nanotechnology?

Image
Nanomaterials  can be constructed by  top down  techniques, producing very small structures from larger pieces of material, for example by etching to create circuits on the surface of a silicon microchip. They may also be constructed by  bottom up  techniques , atom by atom or molecule by molecule. One way of doing this is self-assembly, in which the atoms or molecules arrange themselves into a structure due to their natural properties. Crystals grown for the semiconductor industry provide an example of self-assembly, as does chemical synthesis of large molecules. Molecular nanotechnology  is a term that usually describes a molecule-based Nano technological concept; that means it starts with molecules as building blocks (and therefore is a  bottom-up  technique). Work in this area combines nanotechnology , chemical engineering, and materials chemistry to produce materials with novel functionality. These novel materials find use in a wide range of application such as ene

What are the differences between smart materials, composite materials and nano materials?

Image
Smart materials are at least dual function, composites are materials composed of dissimilar phases or components (sometimes they’re called hybrid materials now), and Nano materials have been engineered on the Nano-scale Smart materials have multiple functions, which generally include sensor/actuator ability in addition to having form, or being able to support at least some structural weight. The classic example is Nitinol, which is a Nikcle-Titanium allow. After mechanical deformation (for example, bending), it can be heated up and will return to the pre-deformed structural shape. Lead-Zirconate-Titanate (PZT) is a ceramic, which responds to mechanical deformation by generating an electrical potential. In the reverse, an applied electrical potential leads to a geometric expansion of the material (actuator function). Composites are materials that are combinations of at least two different materials, which allow the engineering of desired properties (like tailoring mechanic

What is the difference between industrial engineering and mechanical engineering?

Image
  Industrial engineering  is a branch of engineering which deals with the optimization of complex processes or systems. It is concerned with the development, improvement, and implementation of integrated systems of people, money, knowledge, information, equipment, energy, materials, analysis and synthesis, as well as the mathematical, physical and social sciences  together with the principles and methods of engineering design to specify, predict, and evaluate the results to be obtained from such systems or processes.                                                                           Mechanical engineering  is the discipline that applies the principles of engineering, physics,and materials science for the design, analysis, manufacturing, and maintenance of mechanical systems. It is the branch of engineering that involves the design, production, and operation of machinery. Industrial engineering is a combine of economics sciences, technical scienc

What is the need for nanoelectronics?

Image
Nanotechnology in electronics (Nanoelectronics) increases the capabilities of electronics devices while reducing their weight and power consumption, it increases the density of memory chips and it reduces the size of transistors that used in integrated circuits . Nanoelectronics is the term used in the field of nanotechnology for electronic components and research on improvements of electronics such as display, size, and power consumption of the device for practical use. This includes research on memory chips and surface physical modifications on the electronic devices. Nanoelectronics cover quantum mechanical properties of the hybrid material, semiconductor, single-dimensional nanotubes, nanowires , and so forth. Well-developed nanoelectronics can be applied in different fields, and are especially useful for detecting disease-causing agents and disease biomarkers . As a consequence, point-of-care detection became popularized due to the involvement of n
