WHAT IS NANOTECHNOLOGY?
Nanotechnology is the manipulation of matter at the nanometer* scale to create novel structures, devices and systems.

Structure s (e.g.mate rials)

* 1 millimeter = 1,000 micrometers; 1 micrometer = 1,000 nanometers

Devices (e.g. sensors)

Systems (e.g. NEMS)

Lessons for Teachers

Giant Magnetoresistance Students will participate in a hands-on activity where the concepts of nanotechnology and GMR will be introduced. This program is tailored for middle school students. www.mrsec.wisc.edu/Edetc/IPSE/educators Nanoarchitecture: Forms of Carbon This is a two-day activity where students will discover how the properties of materials change when atoms are connected in different ways. This program is also aimed at middle school students. www.mrsec.wisc.edu/Edetc/IPSE/educators

Access Optics
Access Optics makes the lens for endoscopes and other medical devices. The ONAP program allowed them to develop a much better glass-to-metal seal using nanotechnology. They are the only company in the world who solved this problem and will soon make the entire medical device.

Martin Bionics/OrthoCare Innovations

Martin Bionics was funded to develop a dry prosthetic device using a super-hydrophobic powder exclusively licensed from Oak Ridge National Labs They are the only prosthetic company who may have solved this industry problem.

Rupture Pin Technologies

Rupture Pin Technologies, manufacturers oil and gas pressure relief valves and is solving an o-ring blow-out problem using a new o-ring design and Carbon nanotubes to provide strength and flexibility. This will allow them to become a world leader in this industry.

High Quality, High Volume Carbon Nanotubes Southwest NanoTechnologies is fast

becoming the world leader in high quality, high volume, lower cost carbon nanotubes using an patented scalable process that will allow them to produce kilotons rather than kilograms of high quality carbon nanotubes.

Aerogel: the worlds lightest solid

Aerogel is an ultra-low density solid, a gel in which the liquid component has been replaced with gas. Nicknamed frozen smoke, aerogel has a content of just 5% solid and 95% air, and is said to be the lightest weight solid in the world. Despite its lightness, aerogel can support over 2,000 times its own weight. One of the current applications is as insulation for space suits.

Insulation

ARC Outdoors Broken Arrow

ARC Outdoors utilizes nano silver in making cloth for special purposes and currently has a line of anti-microbial clothing for hunters because the nano silver cloth eliminates odor/scent. These clothes are sold through Bass Pro Shops, Cabalas and some Wal-Mart stores. ARC is working on developing a line of hospital uniforms that also will be antimicrobial.

Nano Cable

Nano Ridge Material and Boeing (Long beach) are partners on a $5.75 million Advanced Technology Program to develop Nano Cable by 2010. Nano Cable is a lightweight, highly conductive, electrical wire and cable that could bring significant gains in fuel savings, energy efficiency and operating costs.

The technology is based on carbon nanotubes which conduct greater amounts of electric current than copper while having only 1/6th the weight. By 2010, the market for conductive polymer cable is expected to be 465 million lbs per year, worth $1.4 billion annually.

Automotive Paint Mercedes-Benz

The 2007 MercedesBenz SL series cars sport a protective coating of nanoparticles that provides a three-fold improvement in the scratch resistance of the paintwork.

Nanolight of Norman

Nanolight, Inc.- Nanolight, Inc. is a high-tech company whose mission is to research and develop semiconductor nanofabrication techniques for implementation in cutting-edge infrared laser and detector systems. The company also assists others with product development efforts by providing epitaxialrelated services and acting as a distributor for nanofabrication equipment.

Nano Workforce Trends

Before 2010, the market for nanotechnology products and services is estimated to reach $1 trillion in the U.S. economy. This market will require anywhere from 800,000 to two million new jobs. Most of these workers will require at least two year postsecondary degrees.
