Nanotechnology

What is nano?
The Greek word for dwarf is nano.In nanotechnology, a 'nanometre' is a billionth of  a metre, and each nanometre is only 3 to 5 atoms wide.Things on this scale cannot be seen even with ordinary microscopes. Objects this small require a special tool called a scanning probe microscope.
1 metre =100 centimetre 
1 centimetre = 10 millimetre 
1 millimetre = 0.000001 nanometre

What is nanotechnology?
Nanotechnology is a wonderful new technology in which scientists rearrange atoms and molecules of matter to nano specifications. Or to put it differently, the use and control of tiny matter is called nanatechnology. The tiny matter is referred to as nanoparticles. These particles are measured in nanometres. Matter at the nanoscale has different properties from the same matter in bulk form. 

MEMS 
MEMS stands for microelectromechanical systems. These are machines with moving parts that contain both electrical and mechanical parts. They are made with nanotechnology, and are thinner than a human hair.

What is the importance of nanorobotics?
A nanorobot is a microscopic robot built with nanotechnology. These robots will be able to sense and adapt to external factors such as heat and light. They can be used for everything from repairing space satellites, to killing blood-borne pathogens and cancers. Nanorobotics is the technology of creating machines or robots at or close to, the scale of a nanometer.
       For example, in the future, if you have a fever, your doctor will be able to place a tiny robot into your bloodstream. The robot detects the cause of your fever, travels to the appropriate system, and provide a dose of medication directly to the infacted area.  

Which are some nanoelectronic devices?
Nanoelectronics is based on the application of nanotechnology in the field of electronic components. Conventional computers with big processors will be replaced with nanocomputers with nanoprocessors that will have higher performance and speed than the conventional computers. The devices using nanoelectronics technology also include solar cells that are highly efficient, and cheaper than the conventional ones. If such efficient solar energy can be created, it would be a revolution for global energy needs. Televisions, LEDs, and computers will also be devices using nanoelectronics.

Complement of a Number

Subtraction of Binary Numbers  ;  Octal and Hexadecimal Number  ;  Convert Decimal to Binary Complements Complements are used in digital computers for simplifying the subtraction operation and for logical manipulations. There are two types of complements for each base-r system: (1) the r’s complement and (2) the (r-1)’s complement. When the value of the base is substituted, the two types receive the names 2’s and 1’s complement for binary numbers,  10’s and 9’s complement for decimal numbers. The r’s Complement Given a positive number N in base r with an integer part of n digits, the r’s complement of N is defined as r n   - N for N is not equal to 0 and 0 for N = 0. The following numerical example will help clarify the definition. The 10’s complement of (52520) 10 is 10 5 – 52520 = 47480 The number of digits in the number is n= 5 The 10’s complement of (0.3267) 10 is 1 – 0.3267 = 0.6733 No integer part, so 10 n = 10 0 = 1 The 10’s...

Rules of divisibility part -1

Rules of divisibility In Vedic mathematics, it can be determined whether any part of any other number can be given completely without dividing it by several methods. These methods are based on the law of divisibility. By using these rules, calculations related to factors, parts etc. are simplified. Law of divisibility by number 2 :- If unit digit of given number is divisible by 2 then the given number is divisible by 2 also.                                                                 or  If unit digit of given number is 0,2,4,6 or 8 , then given number is divisible by 2. Example :- 10 ,32 ,74 ,108 ,2058 etc. Law of divisibility by number 3 :- If the sum of digits of given number is divisible by 3, then the number is divisible by 3 also. Illustration 1:-  In 546532 sum of digits=5+4+6+5+3+2=25 25 is not divisible...

Octal and Hexadecimal Number

Complement of a Number    Types of Number system    Convert Decimal to Binary If you are new to this article, I strongly recommend to read our previous article before preceding this. In our previous article, we had already seen that binary number has a base of 2. It means that binary number contains 2 1 = 2 combinations which are 0 and 1. Similarly, Octal and Hexadecimal number has a fixed number of combinations. As we earlier know that octal has a base 8, then it contains 8 digits through 0 to 7 which means 2 3 =8 combinations and Hexadecimal has a base 16 which means it has 2 4 =16 combinations.                 If you are focusing on a sequence i.e. octal, hexadecimal. They are the combinations of increasing power of 2. Octal – 2 3 , Hexadecimal - 2 4 This power indicates how many bits are in a number for a particular number system Octal has 3 bits Hexadecimal has 4 bits T...
