The use of nano-materials and extreme precision micro-engineering has the potential for great improvement in the world of electronics and information technology by providing smaller, faster, and more powerful computers and this has been at the forefront of the nanotechnology commercialization . Great examples of how nanotechnology is currently being used in these fields are products such as processors, data storage, and memory components made with nano-materials, TVs, monitors and even smartphone screens that use organic light-emitting diodes (OLED), and waterproof electronics such as smartphones due to the application of nano-coatings

In early May 1941, father received a green card inviting him to report to the District Police Office for a verification. Mom stays worried, but he said there, it’s nothing to fear because is a French invitation. And added, he was fine since appeared in date for the census. And enlisted from November 1939 until ends of August 1940. So, felt reassured.

To answer this, one does not have to look far as the Cavendish Laboratory is rather open with current projects. For example, Nanophotonics, which is the study of the conduct of light on the nanometer scale and its interactions, is an ongoing study at the Cavendish Laboratory (NanoPhotonics, n.d., para. 1). Specifically, the NanoPhotonics Group (NP) is looking into nano-plasmonics, polymer photonic crystals, semiconductor microcavities, et cetera (NanoPhotonics, n.d., para. 2). At this current time, it is rather difficult, as assembling “nano-chunks” of matter into a structure creates nano-materials that have emergent properties, which are not found in their constituents (NanoPhotonics, n.d., para. 3). Their goal is “moving from expensive fabrication of devices to elegant nano-assembly in which materials ‘build themselves’” (NanoPhotonics, n.d., para. 3). Overall this has a large reward if research is successful and actually leads towards a

Transcendentalism is a philosophical movement that emphasizes spiritual, intuitive, thinking instead of thinking critically. It promotes thinking with the heart, rather than the mind. The band The Microphones beautifully expresses these transcendentalist values in their music. The song The Moon has within it Transcendentalist Principles. These principles are Self Reliance, Free Thought, and The Importance of Nature.

I definitely agree that a medical practitioner needs to balance confidence and humility because having too much confidence and no humility will result in an arrogant behavior. However, a medical practitioner without confidence and too much humility will not formulate a trusting relationship with his/her patients. The patient might be hesitant to take a medical advice or a surgical procedure. Therefore, medical practitioners with the right balance of confidence and humility will gain patients their trust, confidence, and respect.

This interest was fostered through an undergraduate research project I conducted in the summer of 2016, funded by the Oklahoma Space Grant Consortium (OSGC). This NASA sponsored program allowed me to investigate the integration of varying degrees of personality traits outlined in behavioral biology into computer-simulated robots and learn how to work with a complex computer science project under Dr. Brent Eskridge, the Chair of the Computer Science / Network Engineering department at Southern Nazarene University. This project sparked my interest with nanoparticles because I saw that through the creation and simulation process present in the research, these same two processes could work with creating and testing theoretical compounds as alternatives for fuel or building materials. I am extremely interested in exploring how computer science, computational chemistry, and nanoparticles can be used

Research by Campbell (1965) supports the notion that scarce resources are the cause of prejudice attitudes. Campbell created the realistic conflict theory (RCT); the theory suggests that groups are in competition with each other over perceived or literal lack of resources. Campbell highlights resources as political power, social status or money. Within this theory there are perceived ‘winners’ and ‘losers’ depending on who thinks they have achieved the goal or resource. The realistic conflict theory suggests that only if there is a subordinate goal can two contrasting groups work together successfully.

The National Institutes of Health began the U.S. National Nanomedicine Initiative program in 2005 by developing a national network of Nanomedicine Development Centers. “The two major goals of NIH Nanomedicine Initiative are: 1) understand how the biological machinery inside living cells is built and operates at the nanoscale and, 2) use this information to re-engineer these structures, develop new technologies that could be applied to treating diseases, and/or leverage the new knowledge to focus work

For this section I will talk about nanosensors that are becoming popular in the medical field and the block chain, which is the digital currency. Although these two technologies have been here for a while, it is only recently that they have their own spotlight in the emerging technologies as they have advanced greatly from what they were before to what is planned for them.

Nanotechnology has expanded human capabilities to perform tasks by manufacturing nanostructured materials with certain properties, properties which we use in many different areas. In the Medical industry, nano-gold particles are being manipulated to have bacterial detecting properties. Nanotechnology simply is “ The branch of technology that deals with dimensions and tolerances of less than 100 nanometres, especially the manipulation of individual atoms and molecules.” This technology is specifically useful in the medical industry where the shape and size of specific nanoparticles led directly to the problem, for example cancer cells or specific bacteria cells. But, the size of the particles impact the properties of the particles.

A nanoparticle is the most basic component in the construction of a nanostructure. In general, the size of a nanoparticle spans the range between 1 and 100 nm. The properties of many conventional materials change when formed from nanoparticles. This is typically because nanoparticles have a greater surface area per weight than larger particles which causes them to be more reactive than other molecules. Self-assembly refers to the process by which nanoparticles or other distinct components spontaneously organize due to direct specific interactions and/or indirectly, through their environment. Self-assembly is typically linked with thermodynamic equilibrium, the organization of the structures characterized the minimum of the system’s free energy. An important aspect of self-assembly is that the building blocks organize into macroscopic structures. This can happen through direct interactions (Interparticle forces) or through indirect interactions like using a template or external field as a guide.

Nanotechnology (nano: One billionth) is a novel stadium with guaranteeing applications in the field of medication, particularly pharmaceuticals for protected and focused on medication conveyance. The skin is a wonderful device for examination of nanocarriers for medication conveyance for topical and dermatological application. The physicochemical attributes of the nanoparticles, for example, unbending nature, hydrophobicity, size and charge are pivotal to the skin saturation component. Numerous nanocarriers, for example, polymeric, inorganic and lipid nanoparticles and nanoemulsions have been produced and some like carbon nanotubes regardless fullerenes need further investigation for future use in healthy skin and dermatological medications. Dangers of nanopollution and cytotoxicity additionally need to be remembered while investigating different nanoparticles for medicinal utilization.

Nanotechnology is the development of atoms in a certain object. Nanotechnology has become very popular in the past few years. It is a way to rebuild the systems of life. To make systems move faster than ever before. Nanometer is about 10 times the size of an atom. Each of these has a huge effect on a system. Still there are questions out there that keep people wondering how important nanotechnology is to us. Many wonder how will it affect them and if we should continue this research. I myself wondered about nanotechnology. After researching this topic I have learned new and interesting facts to help me understand the entire concept.

However, only experts like scientists and researchers who studies on the said topic have conceptual ideas about nanotechnology, about the advantages and disadvantages of the up and coming field of science. The founder of nanotechnology, Eric Drexler, said that his discovery can solve the many problems of society such as the lack of food, medicine, energy, and power. Professor Therese Rosbero, a lab professor in DLSU-Manila, stated that nanotechnology is a field of science in which other products of science such as biology, chemistry, physics, and medicine are applied all at the same time. She said that nanotechnology is composed of nanoparticles which are too small to be seen by the naked eye (Personal communication, 2015). On the other hand, most of the people in the society have zero to no knowledge about the inner parts of nanotechnology. At the early ages of nanotechnology, the public’s perception about nanotechnology is all about optimism and excitement as it poses potential life changing benefits (Priest, 2012). However, that perception of the people about nanotechnology changed as the once hidden properties of nanotechnology are slowly showing their capability to be harmful and less beneficial to society. Even though most of the people do not know anything about
