2ndSummary-Nanotechnology and Electron Microscopy February 13, 2015
The workshop offered by Dr. Wilfredo Otaño was about Nanotechnology and electron microscopy. The
purpose of this workshop was to learn about Nanotechnology and how it is applied to Science fields, to know
about the Physics involved in it and to learn about the electron microscope and how to use it. Nanotechnology
is the study of small particles (10-9m), in a molecular view, that can be really useful to Science fields such as
Chemistry, Physics and Biology. The nano scale ranges from 1-100nm, but right now the one that is being used
the most is a subdivision called the meso scale which goes from 5-50nm. Nanotechnology focuses on atoms
that are not part of the surface and gives priorities to the ones located on the very inside.
As part of the workshop, we put a sample of Aluminum in a closed machine that was going to provide
Nitrogen and then examined it via the electron microscope. Some of the advantages of Nanotechnology are
that it gives more reactivity to an element and major sensitivity. Also, it is possible to manipulate nano particles
in a way that the starting material can be converted to a different one. Other application of nanotechnology
relies in the study of Genetics, specifically in reading the codification of DNA nitrogenous bases. Nanotech is
very important in the manufacture of new materials which includes food and the memory of macro computers
used on research labs.
