Nanotechnology was first used in 1974 by a professor in a Japanese Uni. Nanotechnology is quite a recent development, with a genesis no earlier than 1959. A ‘nanometre’ is 1 millionth of a metre, typicallya few atoms apart, where ‘normal’ sized objects are made up of many 1000s.
Nanotechnology is a very exciting and revolutionary science and is growing rapidly. The expectation that this science will lead to useful developments in human biology healthcare, IT and defence applications. Nanotech applications o far include nanoparticles in sunblock using nanoparticles of titanium dioxide. Other advances include nanoparticles that may deliver drugs to targetted parts of the body, or intelligent clothes that can monitor blood pressure or heart rate. Hazardous chemicals could be neutralised by nanoparticles.
There is some concern that the technology could be dangerous or at the very least controversial, that its smallness may mean particles getting into places that are not desirable. The possibility of Nano foods is alarming for some, especially after the recent controversy that surrounded the GM food experiments. Suggestions for nanofoods include milk that tastes like cola so that more children will drink more of it, and foods enhanced by the nutrients found in fruit and vegetables for those that don’t eat enough of them.
Nanoscience and nanotechnology employs varied areas of science including chemistry, physics, photonics, environmental science and biology, and therefore the courses are quite broad in the first year or so.
