Science Tech. Society Module 10 Finals

The document discusses the field of nanotechnology and the nano world. It defines nanotechnology as involving sizes around one billionth of a meter. It then outlines some of the key contributors to the development of nanotechnology. Finally, it lists the top 10 potential uses of nanoscience and nanotechnology as identified by the joint center for Bioethics in Canada, including uses in energy production, agriculture, water treatment, disease screening and diagnostics, drug delivery, food processing, pollution control, construction, health monitoring, and pest detection and control.

Semester: First Semester School Year 2021-2022 Module No. 10

LESSON#10 THE NANO WORLD

Nanoworld of science and technology is of great interest to governments, industries and academia. The
prefix “nano” denotes sizes of the order of one billionth of a meter. The history of nanotechnology traces the
development of the concepts happened over a longer period of time.

WHAT IS NANO WORLD?

To understand the nano world here are presented important personages who have contributed to the
growth and study of the Nano World. The retroactive rediscovery of Feynman’s “Plenty of Room” gave
nanotechnology a packaged history that provided an early date of December 1959.

POTENTIAL USES

The joint center for Bioethics in Canada ranked potential uses of nanoscience’s and nanotechnologies
with respect to development. The top ten uses follow (BBC news, 2005)

 Energy production, conversation and storage


 Enhancement of agricultural productivity
 Treatment and remediation of water
 Screening and diagnosing diseases
 Systems for drug delivery
 Processing and storing food
 Controlling air pollution
 Construction
 Monitoring health
 Detecting and controlling pests

ACTIVITY#1
Prepare a written research report on the current uses or application of nano science and nano technology.
Indicate your sources/references at the end of the report.

ACTIVITY#2
Write on the space your own insights, comments and thoughts on the lesson discussed.
