Nanotechnology refers to constructing and engineering functional systems at the atomic scale, around 1 to 100 nanometers. The field was first introduced in 1959 and has since seen advances like the scanning tunneling microscope and discovery of fullerenes. Government funding for nanotechnology research in India has increased from 350 crores in 2002-2006 to over 200 million currently under the Department of Science and Technology. Potential applications of nanotechnology include medicine, manufacturing, defense, and environmental remediation. In medicine, nanotechnology could help target drug delivery, tissue repair, and create "nanorobots" to aid the body. However, risks need to be addressed regarding long term impact within the body and environment.
2. WHAT IS NANOTECHNOLOGY
Nanotechnology refers to the
constructing and engineering of
the functional systems at very
micro level or we can say at atomic
level.

4. HISTORY
The first presented in 1959 by
Dr. Richard P.Feynman.
Invention of the scanning
tunneling microscope in 1981
and the discovery of
fullerene(C60) in 1985 .
The term “Nano-technology"
had been coined by Norio
Taniguchi in 1974

2 . Clear the blockage
3 . Attach the drug to a nanosized carrier
4 . Universal immunity (i.e Flu, AIDS)
5 . Body sculpting (i.e change your appearance)
THE MEDICAL SECTOR
Nanomedicine is the application of nanotechnology
which is used in healthcare setting by creating
antibodies , drug etc………..
10. Advantage Disadvantage
Functional Drug Carriers…….
Drug Discovery…….
Tissue Replacement And repair
Assessment and Treatment Device
Drug Encapsulation
"old nanorobots" left in the body cause
problems when they eventually fail?
Will medical nanorobots possess a
humanlike artificial intelligence?
How would you communicate with the
machines as they do their work?
If medical nanorobots are infused into
the human body, intravenously, how
would one track their location?
Improve the lifestyle
Decrease the death rate
12. Advantage Disadvantage
Use in waste water treatment plant
Making of eco-friendly society
Destroy the non-biodegradable product
Making the healthy environment by
cleaning unwanted things from air
Nanopollution is may be toxic
Nano partical may be dangerous and
hazardous
Unknow effect of nanotechnology
16. The main objectives of the Nano Mission
are:
- Basic research promotion,
- Infrastructure development for carrying out
front-ranking research,
- Development of nano technologies and their
applications,
- Human resource development and
- International collaborations.
