Microand nano-scale manufacturing has been the subject of an increasing amount of interest and research effort worldwide in both academia and industry over the past 10 years. Traditional lithography-based technology forms the basis of silicon-based micro-electro-mechanical systems (MEMS) manufacturing, but also precision manufacturing technologies have been developed to cover micro-scale dimens...

Nanotechnology is one of the pillars of human life in the future. This technology is growing fast and many scientists work in this field. The behavior of materials in nano size varies with that in macro dimension. Therefore scientists have presented various theories for examining the behavior of materials in nano-scale. Accordingly, mechanical behavior of nano-plates, nanotubes nano-beams and n...

This paper describes the novel area of nano-planning|the study of automated planning in a eutactic environment. We begin by describing the evolution of present technology towards nanotechnology and the rationale for engineering nano-robots. The various established elds of research that will contribute to the creation of the rst nano-robot are reviewed. The discussion then focuses on the role of...

The step from micro-technology to nano-technology requires more than a reduction of size by a factor of a thousand. If you want to move precisely in the nano-world, you don’t succeed by perfecting proven techniques.” Handelsblatt. This quotation shows a new approach to Nanotechnology that is somehow unusual. Exactly this new approach is realised in a new system of Nanorobotics. It allows the de...

in order to study the effects of magnetic field, silver nano particles and micronutrient fertilizers on sugar beet, an experiment was conducted at razavi research and technology institute, mashhad, iran. experiment carried out with seven treatments based on randomized complete block design with three replications. treatments included (t1) magnetic field and silver nano particles + kemira fertil...

recently, a renewed interest arises in the application of nanotechnology for the upstream petroleum industry. in particular, adding nanoparticles to fluids may drastically benefit enhanced oil recovery and improve well drilling, by changing the properties of the fluid, rocks wettability alteration, advanced drag reduction, strengthening the sand consolidation, reducing the inter-facial tension and...
