2 Nanoscale 2 No. Item Size (Approx.), Scaling down µm to nm Size (Approx.), on nm Scale 1. Human hair (diameter) µm 60, , Pollen µm 10, , Asbestos fibers (diameter) < 3 µm < 3, Diesel exhaust particles < 100 nm 1 µm < 100 nm Soot < 10 nm 1 µm < 10 nm Quantum dots 2 20 nm Nanotubes (diameter) ~1 nm ~ 1 8. Fullerenes ~ 1 nm ~ 1 9. Atoms 1-3 Å ~ 0.1 nm 1-3 Å ~ 0.1
3 Why nano will change the properties of materials? Example: Smaller size means larger surface area diameter 10 µm 50 nm diameter Area 0.22 m 2 /g 44 m 2 /g 3 3
4 Why nano will change the properties of materials? S/ V Smaller size means larger surface area R Sphere Volume, V = 4/3 π R 3 Surface Area, S = 4πR 2 Ratio S/V = 3 /R α 1/R He atom, 2R = 0.1 nm. S/V = R S/V R
5 How to Make Nanostructures? 5 Top-down Approach Building something by starting with a larger component and carving away material (like a sculpture) In nanotechnology: patterning (using photolithography) and etching away material, as in building integrated circuits Rock Statue
6 Top-down approaches 6 These seek to create smaller devices by using larger ones to direct their assembly. Many technologies that descended from conventional solid-state silicon methods for fabricating microprocessors are now capable of creating features smaller than 100 nm, falling under the definition of nanotechnology. Giant magnetoresistance-based hard drives already on the market fit this description, as do atomic layer deposition (ALD) techniques.
7 Top-down approaches 7 Atomic force microscope tips can be used as a nanoscale "write head" to deposit a chemical upon a surface in a desired pattern in a process called dip pen nanolithography. This fits into the larger subfield of nanolithography. Solid-state techniques can also be used to create devices known as nanoelectromechanical systems or NEMS, which are related to microelectromechanical systems or MEMS.
8 Top-down approaches 8 Focused ion beams can directly remove material, or even deposit material when suitable pre-cursor gasses are applied at the same time. For example, this technique is used routinely to create sub-100 nm sections of material for analysis in Transmission electron microscopy.
9 How to Make Nanostructures? 9 Bottom-up Building something by assembling smaller components (like building a car engine), atom by atom assembly. In nanotechnology: self-assembly of atoms and molecules, as in chemical and biological systems Brick Building
10 Bottom-up approaches 10 These seek to arrange smaller components into more complex assemblies. DNA nanotechnology utilizes the specificity of Watson Crick basepairing to construct well-defined structures out of DNA and other nucleic acids. Approaches from the field of "classical" chemical synthesis also aim at designing molecules with well-defined shape (e.g. bis-peptides).
11 Bottom-up approaches 11 More generally, molecular self-assembly seeks to use concepts of supramolecular chemistry, and molecular recognition in particular, to cause single-molecule components to automatically arrange themselves into some useful conformation.
12 Functional approaches 12 These seek to develop components of a desired functionality without regard to how they might be assembled. Synthetic chemical methods can also be used to create what forensics call synthetic molecular motors, such as in a so-called nanocar.
13 Functional approaches 13 Molecular electronics seeks to develop molecules with useful electronic properties. These could then be used as single-molecule components in a nanoelectronic device. For an example see rotaxane. The Nokia Morph is a concept mobile phone created by Finnish company Nokia. The phone's theoretical feature list would include the ability to bend into numerous shapes, transparent electronics, self-cleaning surfaces and a wide range of fully integrated sensors.

15 Molecular self-assembly 15 Molecular self-assembly is the process by which molecules adopt a defined arrangement without guidance or management from an outside source. There are two types of self-assembly: Intramolecular self-assembly folding Intermolecular self-assembly. An example of a molecular self-assembly through hydrogen bonds reported by Meijer and coworkers. 15
16 16
17 17 Supramolecular Systems Molecular self-assembly is a key concept in supramolecular chemistry since assembly of the molecules is directed through noncovalent interactions (e.g., hydrogen bonding, metal coordination, hydrophobic forces, van der Waals forces, π-π interactions, and/or electrostatic) as well as electromagnetic interactions. Common examples include the formation of micelles, vesicles and liquid crystal phases. 17
18 Biology as a template 18 Biological systems are most effective and efficient manufacturing systems known: DNA polymerase: reliable replication, with error rate ~ 1 in 10,000,000,000 F1F0 ATP synthase: most efficient motor known (~90-100%)
19 Biology as a template 19 Based on simple processes (e.g. polymerisation) Create one basic geometry (linear chains) Rely on self-interactions to generate functional structures automatically ( self-assembly, folding in biology) But we still can t reliably predict folding for known structures after decades of intensive research! How do we design, de novo, both novel chemistries or functions, and the folds protein folds to achieve them?
20 20 Biological Systems Molecular self-assembly is crucial to the function of cells. It is exhibited in the self-assembly of lipids to form the membrane, the formation of double helical DNA through hydrogen bonding of the individual strands, and the assembly of proteins to form quaternary structures. Molecular self-assembly of incorrectly folded proteins into insoluble amyloid fibers is responsible for infectious prion-related neurodegenerative diseases. 20
21 21 Nanotechnology The DNA structure at left will self-assemble into the structure visualized by atomic force microscopy at right. 21
22 22 Nanotechnology Molecular Self assembly Molecular self-assembly is an important aspect of bottom-up approaches to nanotechnology. Using molecular self-assembly the final (desired) structure is programmed in the shape and functional groups of the molecules. Self-assembly is referred to as a 'bottom-up' manufacturing technique in contrast to a 'top-down' technique such as lithography where the desired final structure is carved from a larger block of matter. In the speculative vision of molecular nanotechnology, microchips of the future might be made by molecular self-assembly. An advantage to constructing nanostructure using molecular selfassembly for biological materials is that they will degrade back into individual molecules that can be broken down by the body. 22
23 The motivation for molecular nanotechnology Biology provides proof of the feasibility of nanotechnology, supplies a fully functional model 2. Structures that are able to self-replicate exist in Nature 3. Nanoscale machines do not violate any laws of physics, in principle 4. We can conceive of bottom-up fabrication, even starting from the atomic level 5. Structures where atoms are arranged precisely exist in Nature Hence we should be able to build nanoscale, self-replicating, programmable assemblers capable of manufacturing arbitrary objects from atomic constituents
24 The basic concept 24 Molecular nanotechnology: Thorough, inexpensive control of the structure of matter based on molecule-by-molecule control of products and byproducts of molecular manufacturing. Unbounding the Future, Drexler et al., 1991 Based on: The concept of the molecular assembler : pick up and manipulate atoms, establish chemical bonds between arbitrary atoms Incorporation of assemblers into self-replicating machines Molecular-scale computation, programming, data storage, and integration
25 25 The Promise of Molecular Nanotechnology Imagine a manufacturing technology capable of making trillions of tiny machines each the size of a bacteria. Each machine could contain an onboard device programmed to control a set of molecular scale tools and manipulators. An individual machine could be designed to manufacture superior materials, convert solar energy to electricity, or even, ultimately, enter the body to fight disease and aging at the cellular and molecular level. Materials hundreds of times better than today s best materials, vastly more powerful computers, precise machinery that doesn t wear out, and a revolution in clean manufacturing are but a few of the predicted benefits of applying these new machines. source: Zyvex home page but many potential dangers lurk!
26 DNA nanotechnology DNA nanotechnology is an area of current research that uses the bottomup, self-assembly approach for nanotechnological goals. DNA nanotechnology uses the unique molecular recognition properties of DNA and other nucleic acids to create self-assembling branched DNA complexes with useful properties. 2. DNA is thus used as a structural material rather than as a carrier of biological information, to make structures such as two-dimensional periodic lattices (both tile-based as well as using the "DNA origami" method (DNA origami is the nanoscale folding of DNA to create arbitrary two and three dimensional shapes at the nanoscale. 3. The specificity of the interactions between complementary base pairs make DNA a useful construction material through design of its base sequences) and three-dimensional structures in the shapes of polyhedra. 4. These DNA structures have also been used to template the assembly of other molecules such as gold nanoparticles and streptavidin proteins (bacteria uses are the purification or detection of various biomolecules. 26
27 Applications of Nanotechnology 27 Next-generation computer chips Ultra-high purity materials, enhanced thermal conductivity and longer lasting nanocrystalline materials Kinetic Energy penetrators (DoD weapon) Nanocrystalline tungsten heavy alloy to replace radioactive depleted uranium Better insulation materials Create foam-like structures called aerogels from nanocrystalline materials Porous and extremely lightweight, can hold up to 100 times their weight

30 Still more applications 30 Greater fuel efficiency for cars Improved spark plug materials, railplug Stronger bio-based plastics Bio-based plastics made from plant oils lack sufficient structural strength to be useful Merge nanomaterials such as clays, fibers and tubes with bio-based plastics to enhance strength and durability Allows for stronger, more environment friendly materials to construct cars, space shuttles and a myriad of other products

36 Two classes of nanoparticle emitters Semiconductor nanoparticles, also known as quantum dots, whose luminescence wavelength is dependent on the size and the nature of the semiconductors. These nanoparticle emitters can be judiciously selected to cover the visible to the IR spectral range. They can also be surface-functionalized to be dispersable in biological media as well as to be conjugated to various biomolecules. 2.

41 Quantum Dots 41
42 Semiconductor Quantum Dots 42 Quantum dots (also frequently abbreviated as Qdots) are nanocrystals of semiconductors that exhibit quantum confinement effects, once their dimensions get smaller than a characteristic length, called the Bohr s radius. This Bohr s radius is a specific property of an individual semiconductor and can be equated with the electron-hole distance in an exciton that might be formed in the bulk semiconductor. For example, it is 2.5nm for CdS. Below this length scale the band gap (the gap between the electron occupied energy level, similar to HOMO, and the empty level, similar to LUMO) is size-dependent.
43 Qdots 43 When the particle size decreases below the Bohr s radius, the absorption and the emission wavelengths of the nanoparticles shift to a shorter wavelength (toward UV). The quantum dots, therefore, offer themselves as fluorophores where the emission wavelength can be tuned by selecting appropriate-size nanocrystals. By appropriate selection of the materials and the size of their nanocrystals, a wide spectral range of emission can be covered for bioimaging. Also, a significantly broad range of emission covered by many sizes of nanocrystals of a given material can be excited at the same wavelength. The typical line widths are 20-30nm, thus relatively narrow, which helps if one wants to use the quantum dots more effectively for multispectral imaging.
44 Qdots 44 Compared to organic fluorophores, the major advantages offered by quantum dots for bioimaging are: 1. Quantum dot emissions are considerably narrower compared to organic fluorophores, which exhibit broad emissions. Thus, the complication in simultaneous quantitative multichannel detection posed by cross-talks between different detection channels, derived from spectral overlap, is significantly reduced. 2. The lifetime of emission is longer (hundreds of nanoseconds) compared to that of organic fluorophores, thus allowing one to utilize time-gated detection to suppress autofluorescence, which has a considerably shorter lifetime. 3. The quantum dots do not readily photobleach. 4. They are not subject to microbial attack.
45 45 A major problem in the use of quantum dots for bioimaging is the reduced emission efficiency due to the high surface area of the nanocrystal. Enhance the emission efficiency of the core quantum dot.

82 82 Haber-Bosch Ammonia Synthesis N H 2 3 NH 3 A significant fraction of our energy consumption goes into producing ammonia for fertilizers. Plants need nitrogen in a form that can be biologically converted into proteins or DNA. Only a few plants can fix N 2 from air with the help of symbiotic bacteria, all others need fertilizers where the strong triple bond in N 2 is already broken up (ammonia nitrites nitrates). The Haber-Bosch synthesis uses iron oxide as catalyst, together with high temperature (400 0 C) and high pressure (200 atmospheres) to drive the reaction to the right side. Bacteria in the roots of certain plants can achieve the same result at room temperature and atmospheric pressure with a bio-catalyst (=enzyme) called nitrogenase.
