#11 NanoTech- Book Summary

Use this issue to summarize chapters of the Nanotech Book. there are 2 books

Royal Society book seems to be non sequential - each chapter is stand alone Nano socienty is more sequential

@parik go thu the Royal Society book - identify the chapters that you think are interesting - we can then split the chapters and come up with summaries that others can read

@rupam Im going throught the Future is tiny book. Here is an overview of the topics that can be covered.

Chapter1-Efficient Energy generation and storage : Me

Chapter2-Futurisric electectonic gadgets and tech that can be made with nano tech: Me

Chapter3-Nanofabrication : can be avoided or be researched on youtube eg:printing with graphene. : Me

Chapter4-Nano materials: Only Graphene(4.1 & 4.2.4) portion needed: covered by Rupam

Chapter5-Nanotech in medical industry: Can be avoided and studied from other sources:Rupam

Chapter6-Mech made with nanotech: Rupam

Chapter7:Environmental applications:Not needed from this book.

Will update with summaries as i finish each one of my chapters.

4.1 - introduces Graphene as a wonder material due to its 2D structure, but does not go into detail. refers to some phenomenan that helps molecular electronics. But the example isnt very relatable

4.2.4 - lot of dense words - basically suggests that 2D TMD has a promising future in building a better battery . Vanadium Dioxide is the new thing that can help progress battery tech ““Intrinsically metallic, VS2 monolayer has a higher theoretical capacity (466 mA h g−1), a lower or similar lithium diffusion barrier compared to MoS2 and graphite, and has a low average open circuit voltage of 0.93 V,”

[ Gravimetric Capacity ] TMD- Transition Metal Disulfides [

our main tast is to bake this into some applicability which currently isnt there at all for a normal human being

Chapter 5- multifunctional nanoparticles— bio molecular sensors are able to treat issues cell wise . At the core of tissue engineering is the construction of three-dimensional scaffolds outof biomaterials to provide mechanical support and guide cell growth into new tissues or organs.

Advances in micro- and nanoscale engineering in the medical field have led to the development of various robotic designs that one day will allow a new level of minimally-invasive medicine. These micro- and nanorobots will be able to reach a targeted area, provide treatments and therapies for a desired duration, measure the effects and, at the conclusion of the treatment, be removed or degrade without causing adverse effects

5.1 - Magic bullet - swallow med and it knows where to go what to do. 5.1.1 - IIS team has shown possibility of a nanoparticle traversing inside human blood using cytocompatible nanopropellers . 2 main challenge - “(1) The thrust generated by the propeller > overcome the large drag due to the presence of blood cells; (2) since the large concentration of ions—chlorides, phosphates, etc.—in blood can etch most magnetic materials easily, this necessitates a conformal protective coating around the nanomotors.

5.1.2- micro structure in blood influenced by magnetism to guide it and respond to external factors to generate heat etc “These complex structures are manipulated in 3D complex spaces by means of a five-degree-of-freedom (5-DOF) electromagnetic manipulation system

5.1.3 - mouse experiment - operation of Synthetic motor inside a mouse using biocompatible material powered by body fluid - Stomack acid. - benefit - “Our research demonstrates that the self-propulsion of these microrockets leads a dramatically improved retention of their payloads in the stomach lining compared to the common passive diffusion and dispersion of orallyadministrated payloads,”

5.1.4 - Multiplexed Planar Array Analysis from Within a Living cell - basically a material that allows different molecules to be analysed in parallel from a single sample. Benefit - reduces number of samples / time to analyze and collect

5.1.5 Self-Powered Micropumps Respond to Glucose Levels - treat diabetics on self-assembled micelles that disintegrate when they get in touch with glucose helping maintain glucose levels in the body

5.1.6 - Sneaking Drugs into Cancer Cells - Drugs encapsulated in carbon nanotubes - released via external stimulus such as heat / magenetic field

5.1.7/8 not very interesting.

5.1.9 Remotely Activating Biological Materials with Nanocomposites

5.2 - Sensors and Nanoprobes for Everything—Down to Single Molecules. allows people to act by sensing things before hand . for example

• before cancer cells grow detect the antibody released first which can be years in advance. Monitor cancer cells
• detect metabolism better
• Detect Damaged DNA
• breath monitors that can pick up stuff from human breath
• Assess biomarkers

sigh i said in the group do it in a doc why are you using issues to create documents

issues are ment for discussions

seriously, guys

keep this issue open

@rupam highlight whats interesting, use this issue for that .. so we don't have to go in the order in the index

@parik summarise in a doc, do it on a feature branch ... either in root folder or create a new folder doesnt matter, we can organise later once we have named the (new) individual games

i was hoping to just help @parik own the what is interesting part given he is closer to our target age range

yes but not here because an issue is like doing one time work not working on a document over time

not iterative/deep

its one-time and shallow

need to open a new doc, do to best of ability for iteration one, commit

then come back, improve

keep getting reviews on the work (in the PR)

discuss, incorporate, move the needle

many times i've said this to everyone including you ... issue is for discussion, then move to output, submit first cut, send pull request, then all discussion on the output itself is on the pull request ... issue stays open for any abstract discussion not related to the document itself (like “what if tried another approach” etc) ... when everyone is happy, doc is merged to master, issue is closed

encourage him all you like

but output is output

discussion is discussion

don't mix the two

@parik share document whenever ready
