Nanophytoplankton are free-floating, aquatic plant; contains algae, protists, and cyanobacteria; photosynthetic, autotrophic plankton. They have chlorophyll in their cells. The main difference between nanophytoplankton and plankton is its smaller size (2-20 µm versus >50 µm). Nanophytoplankton fix large amounts of carbon, which would otherwise be released as carbon dioxide. In the Southern Ocean in the Antarctic zone, nanophytoplankton are the most abundant type of plankton in terms of number, but not volume. Antarctic marine flora consists almost entirely of algae, with phytoplankton, and therefore...

"The work by Wang et al. suggests a host of applications in optoelectronics, for example infrared polarizers or polarization detectors, using arrays in which the MWCNTs have a range of lengths, and wavelength-specific detectors, for which the MWCNTs are fabricated to all have the same desired length. MWCNTs are preferable to SWCNTs for their electrical metallicity and greater mechanical robustness, and their random spacing in the arrays suppresses interference effects. The preparation of the MWCNT arrays could easily be extended to a high-throughput process with the use of established technology. Over the decade-long history of carbon nanotubes there has been substantial investment by the private sector in nanotube research and...

In nanotechnology, a particle is defined as a small object that behaves as a whole unit in terms of its transport and properties. It is further classified according to size: in terms of diameter, fine particles cover a range between 100 and 2500 nanometers, while ultrafine particles, on the other hand, are sized between 1 and 100 nanometers. Similar to ultrafine particles, nanoparticles are sized between 1 and 100 nanometers. Nanoparticles may or may not exhibit size-related properties that differ significantly from those observed in fine particles or bulk materials. Although the size of most molecules would fit into the above outline, individual molecules are usually not referred to as nanoparticles. Данное издание не...

Nanopunk refers to an emerging genre of speculative science fiction (sci-fi) still very much in its infancy in comparison to other genres like that of Cyberpunk. The genre is similar bio-punk, but describes the world where the use of biotechnologies are limited or prohibited, so only nanotechnologies in wide use (while in biopunk bio- and nanotechnologies often coexist). Currently the genre is more concerned with the artistic and physiological impact of nanotechnology, than of aspects of the technology itself which is still in its infancy. Unlike the Cyberpunk, a low-life yet technologically advanced character,...

ShorttitleA nanoprobe as existing in the real world is an optical device. It was developed by tapering an optical fiber to a tip measuring 100 nm = 1000 angstroms wide. Also, a very thin coating of silver nanoparticles helps to enhance the Raman scattering effect of the light. (The phenomenon of light reflection from an object when illuminated by a laser light is referred to as Raman scattering.) The reflected light demonstrates vibration energies unique to each object (samples in this case), which can be characterised and identified. The silver nanoparticles in this technique provides for the rapid oscillations...

Nanophotonics or Nano-optics is the study of the behavior of light on the nanometer scale. It is considered as a branch of optical engineering which deals with optics, or the interaction of light with particles or substances, at deeply subwavelength length scales. Technologies in the realm of nano-optics include near-field scanning optical microscopy (NSOM), photoassisted scanning tunnelling microscopy, and surface plasmon optics. Traditional microscopy makes use of diffractive elements to focus light tightly in order to increase resolution. But because of the diffraction limit (also known as the Rayleigh...

Nanoparticle Tracking Analysis (NTA) is a method for visualizing and analyzing particles in liquids that relates the rate of Brownian motion to particle size. The rate of movement is related only to the viscosity and temperature of the liquid, it is not influenced by particle density or refractive index. NTA allows the determination of a size distribution profile of small particles (10-1000nm) in liquid suspension. The technique is used in conjunction with an ultramicroscope which allows small particles in liquid suspension to be visualized moving under Brownian motion. Computer software is then be used to track...

The nanotube, about 10 nanometers in diameter and several hundred nanometers long, is contained in a vacuum and one of its ends is connected to an electrode of a battery. The other electrode is placed a short distance from the nanotube's other end. The tube, now charged, will vibrate in tune with any external electromagnetic signal, effectively acting as an antenna. The favorable vibration frequency can be adjusted by changing the applied voltage, which allows to tune the radio to different carrier frequencies. The field electron emission effect causes a current to flow, as electrons tunnel across the gap...

A nanoruler is a ruler of tiny proportions, made of a silicon crystal lattice structure. Since it can accurately measure fractions of nanometers, it could help standardize the future nanotechnology industry. Since the characteristics of silicon are well understood, the distance between one crystal lattice line to another is well known. Therefore, counting these lines can reveal a fairly accurate measurement. The ruler was developed by the National Institute of Standards and Technology, and unveiled in 2005. Nanoruler also is the name of a machine to produce large (greater than 300 mm x 300 mm) grating patterns...

A nanoshell is a type of spherical nanoparticle consisting of a dielectric core which is covered by a thin metallic shell (usually gold). These nanoshells involve a quasiparticle called plasmon which is a collective excitation or quantum plasma oscillation where the electrons simultaneously oscillate with respect to all the ions. The simultaneous oscillation can be called plasmon hybridization where the tunability of the oscillation is associated with mixture of the inner and outer shell where they hybridize to give a lower energy or higher energy. This lower energy couples strongly to incident light whereas,...

The nanoscopic scale usually refers to structures with a length scale applicable to nanotechnology, usually cited as 1-100 nanometers. The nanoscopic scale is (roughly speaking) a lower bound to the mesoscopic scale for most solids. For technical purposes, the nanoscopic scale is the size at which the expected fluctuations of the averaged properties (due to the motion and behavior of individual particles) can no longer be reduced to a size below some desirable threshold (often a few percent), and must be rigorously established within the context of any particular problem.

One nanosecond is to one second as one second is to 31.7 years. The word nanosecond is formed by the prefix nano and the unit second. Its symbol is ns. A nanosecond is equal to 1000 picoseconds or 1/1000 microsecond. Because the next SI unit is 1000 times larger, times of 10-8 and 10-7 seconds are typically expressed as tens or hundreds of nanoseconds. Times of this magnitude are commonly encountered in telecommunications, pulsed lasers and some areas of electronics. Some notable measurements in this range include: Данное издание не...

For some period of time the use of plasma in medicine has been limited to thermal discharges for cauterization and dissection. Non-thermal plasma, on the other hand, can have many different modes of interaction with tissue. It has been recently demonstrated that direct treatment of smooth surfaces by non-thermal dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) in air is highly effective in killing pathogens and DBD can create different sub-lethal and selective effects. However, a typical DBD in air can be highly non-uniform, particularly on topographically non-uniform surfaces such as in most living tissues. This creates significant limitations for use of DBDs in wound care and other biomedical applications. In this book, development of a novel...

In this book, various solution based deposition methods for carbon nanotube based thin films are discussed. Then extensive studies about the transport properties are presented, including density, temperature, voltage, and frequency dependence. The density study of the conductivity of rare networks reveals two-dimensional percolation behavior. The temperature dependent reveals that tunneling between the SWNT-SWNT junctions is the governing mechanism for carriers transport. Frequency dependent (2 Hz -10 GHz) conductivity shows universal power law behavior for systems with randomly distributed barriers. Two major applications of nanotube based thin films are included: thin film transistors using semiconductor behavior of percolating...

The Nanotech Age is an age in the future covered in most forms of fiction. According to Raymond Kurzweil, the Nanotech Age is expected to begin in the range from 2025 to 2050 bringing an end to the current Information Age which started in the year 1990. This age would emphasize transhumanism in addition to rapid technological development in all research fields. Using present-day logic, the situation would reveal itself as the rich receiving nanotechnology services before everyone else - this is the attitude of the status quo. Prices would eventually go down rather than up as in the case of all electronic equipment because nanotechnology is more along the lines of electronic equipment than of natural gas or petroleum gasoline.

A nanowire is a nanostructure, with the diameter of the order of a nanometer. Alternatively, nanowires can be defined as structures that have a thickness or diameter constrained to tens of nanometers or less and an unconstrained length. At these scales, quantum mechanical effects are important — which coined the term "quantum wires". Many different types of nanowires exist, including metallic, semiconducting, and insulating. Molecular nanowires are composed of repeating molecular units either organic or inorganic. Данное издание не является оригинальным.
