SYNTHESIS LECTURES ON ENGINEERING SCIENCE AND T...

Nanoscience and nanotechnology  the application of the research-based nanoscale science  have
changed significantly over the last three and a half decades. The bucky ball  60 carbon atoms
arranged like a soccer ball  and an often-used symbol of nanotechnology  was discovered in 1985
and 4 years later scientists at IBM were able to manipulate xenon atoms on a surface. In the
intervening years  nanotechnology has evolved from a singly focused research topic to an
understanding that infiltrates every aspect of science and engineering disciplines. In addition
nanotechnology  and both naturally occurring and engineered nanomaterials  have become the
focus of legal  environmental  and application and regulation disciplines. The first portion of
this text serves as an introduction to nanotechnology: the history  mathematical concepts  and
instruments required to study and manipulate the world at the atomic scale. The later portion
of the text discusses the connectivity of nanotechnology to the more traditional scientific
disciplines as well as emerging technologies. This text can serve as an introduction to the
nanoscale for science  computer science  and engineering disciplines. It can also provide a
valuable foundation for disciplines such as industrial hygiene  architecture  sociology  ethics
and the humanities. There does not exist an educational discipline  market segment  or career
avenue which will not be impacted by nanotechnology.
