Who first contemplated on the idea of nanotechnology and when?
It is generally acknowledged that the term nanotechnology was first used by the late Professor Norio Taniguchi of the Tokyo Science University in a paper, “On the Basic Concept of ‘Nanotechnology’”, presented at a meeting of the Japan Society of Precision Engineering in 1974.
Who are the pioneers of nanotechnology?
Heinrich Rohrer: The Modest Pioneer of Nanotechnology.
How was nanotechnology discovered and developed?
Modern nanotechnology truly began in 1981, when the scanning tunneling microscope allowed scientists and engineers to see and manipulate individual atoms. IBM scientists Gerd Binnig and Heinrich Rohrer won the 1986 Nobel Prize in Physics for inventing the scanning tunneling microscope.
Who is the founding father of nanotechnology?
Dr. Heinrich Rohrer

What is the power of nano meter?
Manipulating at the nanoscale allows us to reimagine matter. A nanometer is a mere one billionth of a meter. But researchers have discovered that matter at this scale behaves in revolutionary ways. Twenty-five years of intensive research now gives us the power to reshape our world from the nanoscale up.
What Nano Means?
The term “nano” comes from ancient Greek and means “dwarf” (nános = dwarf). Used as a prefix, “nano” denotes 10-9, just as “kilo” denotes 103 and “milli” 10-3. A nanometer is therefore equal to a billionth of a meter i.e. 0.000000001 m.
What makes nano special?
Nanoscale materials have far larger surface areas than similar masses of larger-scale materials. As surface area per mass of a material increases, a greater amount of the material can come into contact with surrounding materials, thus affecting reactivity.
What is Nano used for?
Nano-engineered materials make superior household products such as degreasers and stain removers; environmental sensors, air purifiers, and filters; antibacterial cleansers; and specialized paints and sealing products, such a self-cleaning house paints that resist dirt and marks.
Is Nano coin dead?
Coin is also still listed on all major exchanges which indicates that NANO is far from a dead project.
How Much Is Nano to dollar?

Does Nano reach 100?
NANO isn’t going to hit 100 dollars anytime soon.
Is Nano better than Bitcoin?
With mining removed and slimmed-down transactions, Nano is more energy efficient than Bitcoin. The team is even constantly looking for ways to prune the ledger. Still, Nano may be forced into a hard fork because of several lawsuits stemming from the BitGrail hack.
