For centuries, scientists and engineers have been making things bigger and better. Now some scientists are trying to make things smaller and better in hopes of solving some of the world's biggest problems. These scientists and engineers are working in specialties of micro engineering and nanotechnology to develop microscopic and atom-sized solutions in fields such as medicine, environmental pollution, and information technology.

If we can't measure a product quickly, precisely, and inexpensively, then we can't build it. This is especially true at the nanoscale. Nanometrology encompasses the cutting edge technologies of measuring structures in terms of a billionth of a meter-significantly below the wavelength of light.
In this DVD you will travel to talk to the world's leading experts at National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), FEI Company, and The University of Michigan's Electron Microbeam Analysis Laboratory (EMAL) to learn how advanced nanometrology instruments are aiding the production of high-performance nano-enabled products. Learn detailed information on the two major types of microscopes in use today, which are based on either an energy beam made up of electrons or ions, or a scanning probe with a sharp tip. The energy beam methods may use electrons, such as in an S-E-M (scanning electron microscope), and the T-E-M (transmission electron microscope), or they may use ionized atoms, such as in the F-I-B (focused ion beam). The scanning probes include the S-T-M (scanning tunneling microscopy), and the A-F-M (atomic force microscopy).
The main program is presented in the following clear-cut sections: What is nanotechnology?; Units: micrometer and nanometer; Special properties of nanoparticles; The Gecko Effect; Carbon Nanotubes; Surface energy; Hydrophilic and hydrophobic surfaces; the Lotus effect; Use of lasers in nanotechnology; Issues raised by nanotechnology. Because nanotechnology works with the metric unit nanometer and micrometer, this program uses metric units. However, this should not affect a student's understanding of the concepts presented in the program.
Molecular nanotechnology (MNT) promises to usher in the next Industrial Revolution with a new, radically precise, less expensive, and more flexible way of making products. Like steam engines, electricity, and transistors, nanomanufacturing is poised to completely impact business and industry worldwide. Yet every aspect of nanoscale science and the commercial production of nanotechnology will depend on the capacity of these tools to measure, sense, manipulate, and fabricate matter at the molecular level.
Nanomanufacturing highlights the current, near-term, and future applications of this technology. You will see how nanotechnology is transforming the way we manufacture products using innovative top-down fabrication and bottom-up assembly techniques that use matter to build complex products with atom-precision.
PLUS! Only this program can take you inside Nanorex, NanoInk, Zyvex, General Dynamics and NASA to provide an authoritative, first-hand look into the applications of molecular manufacturing. Highlights and case studies will focus on:
CAD Simulation Tools for the design and analysis of productive nanosystem.
Dip-pen Nanolithography.
Molecular Assemblers & Manipulators.
The use of carbon nanotubes in commercial viable products.
Improved performance characteristics and design functionality of aerospace applications, including NASA's mission to Mars.
N is for Nanotechnology is an "everyman's" look at how the future will be impacted by this sub-microscopic technology marvel. Nanotechnology is already revolutionizing the fields of material science and chemistry and helping global business and industry sectors from medicine to aerospace achieve new and exciting breakthroughs. This documentary explores the theories and initiatives of several leading nanoscience researchers and scientists, with regard to the potential of nanotechnology to revolutionize modern science and industry.
Sensationalized through science fiction and the media, nanotechnology is often misunderstood by the general public. Will nano-sized robots perform molecular surgeries? Will self-replicating nanostructures help clean the environment or destroy the planet? N is for Nanotechnology explores the hype, hopes, and facts of this fascinating new field, as seen through the eyes of award-winning scientists, commercial innovators, and writers.
