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.

WORLD  HERITAGE  SITES IN  INDIA PART- 1  Why did UNESCO start the World Heritage Centre? The UNESCO World Heritage Centre was born by merging two separate movements. The first was a movement for the preservation of cultural sites. The second was a movement that dealt with the conservation of nature. The ball for the first movement was set rolling with the decision to build the Aswan High Dam in Egypt. This dam would have flooded the valley in which one of the treasures of ancient Egypt- the Abu Simbel temple- wsa located. In 1959 UNESCO launched a campaign to safeguard these temples. It was a joint effort of 50 countries, and it led to many other similar projects to safeguard rare treasures. It was the United States that led the movement to combine the conservation of natural wonders along with cultural sites.  World Heritage Fund- If 1972, the World Heritage Fund was created. Its aim is to assist nations in identifying, preserving, and promoting World Heritage...

Square of the number

     This article is used to find out the square of  a number in a short period of time compare to normal maths. It increase the speed of your calculations.  The answer obtained by multiplying a number by itself is the square of that number. Example :- 6×6= 36 which is the square of 6.                          8×8= 64 which is the square of 8.      1.   Square of numbers ending in 5 :- Example 1-: 35 2 =   ? Step 1:- Multiply the first part by the first part plus 1: 3 ×(3+1) =3×4 =12 Step 2:- Write the number 25 next to the result from step 1: 35 2 = 12_25 = 1225 Example 2-: (in 3 digits) 125 2 =   ? Step 1:- Multiply the first part by the first part plus 1: 12 ×(12+1) =12×13 =156 Step 2:- Write the number 25 next to the result from step 1: 125 2 = 156_25 = 15625 Example 3-: (in decimal numbers) 9.5 2 =     ? Step 1:- M...

What is Genetics

What is Genetics?     Have you ever wondered why some people are short while others are tall, or why some have brown eyes while others have black eyes? Genetics is the study of the ways in which different characteristics are passed from each generations of living things to the next. Genetics has many divisions like population genetics and epigenetics   What is DNA?     Each of us has a unique set of chemical blueprints that determine how our body looks and functions. These blueprints are contained in our DNA, which is the short form of deoxyribonucleic acid.    DNA is in the form of long spiral-shaped molecules found inside every cell. The instructions for constructing and maintaining cells are built into this molecule. DNA can copy itself so that all the new cells produced by a plant or animal, contain copies of the same set of genetic instructions, or genetic code. Every single living organism processes DNA. In fact, DNA defin...
