Assignment 2: Nanotechnology Applications
Nanotechnology (also called nanotech) is a branch
of materials science that deals with manipulating matter on the atomic scale.
It is so called because this field deals with engineering on the scale of a
billionth of a meter, also known as a nanometer. Nanotechnology seeks to solve
a wide range of problems from the construction of atomic scale machines to
changing material properties at the atomic level.
Use the Internet, Argosy University library
resources, and your textbook to research the field of nanotechnology.
Write a paper discussing some of the basic
scientific and technical concepts of nanotechnology. Do the following in your
paper:
Discuss current or future applications of
nanotechnology in fields such as medicine, engineering, space exploration, fuel
cell development, air and water purification, and agriculture.
Provide at least three examples of real-world
applications in use or in development with reliable references.
Write a 2–3-page paper in Word format. Apply APA
standards to citation of sources. Use the following file naming convention:
