Nanoparticles is a microscopic particle with at least one dimension less than 100 nm. Liposomes is a spherical vesicle composed of a bilayer membrane. In biology, this specifically refers to a membrane composed of a phospholipid and cholesterol bilayer Antibody conjugates A conjugate vaccine is created by covalently attaching a poor antigen to a carrier protein, thereby conferring the immunological attributes of the carrier on the attached antigen. This technique for the creation of an effective immunogen is most often applied to bacterial polysaccharides for the prevention of invasive bacterial disease.
Low power laser light heats the gold nanoshells to kill the tumor and not the good tissue (have to get the nanoshells to the tumor)
Kevlar reinforced with carbon nanotubes High Strength – spun conductive yarns exhibit breaking strengths up to 3 GPa Six times stronger than aluminum Three times stronger than carbon steel Electrical Conductivity – better than copper Thermal Conductivity - Capability to transfer more heat than copper or silver by weight Extremely Lightweight – Less than half the weight of aluminum Over three years enough to retrofit EMI shielding in all commercial jets. 787 would save 2000 lbs using the Nanocomp CNT product 200 lbs of weight could be saved in typical satellite. Currently it costs $5,000-100,000 per pound to launch a satellite into geosynchronous orbit. $1-20 million in launch cost savings for each launch.
UCSB claims to have developed a novel, self-assembly process for creating features on silicon that are between 5- and 20-nm Several entities, including IBM Corp. and Intel Corp., are exploring a new technology called co-polymer lithography in an effort to extend Moore's Law . http://www.eetindia.co.in/ART_8800546209_1800007_NT_9dde7629.HTM http://www.slideshare.net/ucsb.ira/craig-hawker-of-ucsb-commercial-applications-of-polymer-as-nanomaterials http://www.mrl.ucsb.edu/hawker/publications.html Dendronized macromonomers for 3D data storage A series of dendritic macromonomers have been synthesized and utilized as the photoactive component in holographic storage systems leading to high performance, low shrinkage materials. http://www.mrl.ucsb.edu/hawker/research.html

The diamond heat spreading layer directly under the junction can allow for more than a 100% increase in power levels compared to silicon substrates alone, and a 50-80% increase when compared to SiC, at a fixed junction temperature. At fixed power, they can reduce junction temperature by more than 50 degrees compared to GaN on silicon or SiC. http://www.betasights.net/wordpress/?p=693 Diamond transistors 50 nm http://www.electronicsweekly.com/Articles/2009/04/16/45900/glasgow-uni-develops-diamond-transistor-with-50nm-gate.htm http://www.theinquirer.net/inquirer/news/1044396/diamond-transistor-clocks Nippon Telegraph & Telephone (NT&T) to create a transistor that will clock 120GHz. According to nikkei.net , Element Six Limited and NT&T use chemical vapour deposition to place a coating of diamond on a polycrystalline diamond substrate. prototype stage Jan 2008, but the wire said that it will be commercialised within three years (2010-2011) http://www.prnewswire.co.uk/cgi/news/release?id=140257 Element Six (E6) announces that in collaboration with the University of Ulm in Germany it has produced preliminary microwave devices (MESFET transistors) using synthetic single crystal diamond made by chemical vapour deposition (CVD). Diamond, with its extreme physical properties, is now entering the world of high frequency electronics, making real the possibility of replacing high-power vacuum tube devices with solid-state diamond components. The intrinsic theoretical performance of diamond, coupled with this latest device, suggest that diamond could capture the entire rf device market for frequencies between 10 and 100 GHz, with devices capable of producing over 100 Watts at X-band frequencies.

Nanotech is the study of the control of matter on an atomic and molecular scale. Broadly defined nanotechnology deals with structures of the size 100 nanometers or smaller, and involves developing materials or devices within that size. 0.1 nanometers (angstrom, width of one hydrogen atom) 1.4 angstroms-7 angstroms separating carbon atoms in a lattice One trillion cubic angstroms in a cube with 100 nanometer sides. Scale like softballs in a baseball stadium. One billion times bigger. 100 meters is 100 nanometers. 1 meter is one nanometer. 10 centimeters is 0.1 nanometers. 22nm node is 22 meter wide canals.
