Do you know what is nanothechnology? Could you imagine what is this? Nanotechnology is the art and science of manipulating matter at the nanoscale (down to 1/100,000 the width of a human hair) to create new and unique materials and products.
“Nanotechnology is all about small, light and cheap, and you’re not in the cell phone business if you’re not thinking small, light and cheap — the two are made for each other,” said David Bishop, vice president of research at Lucent’s Bell Labs in Murray Hill, N.J.
As proof of principle, Bishop said Bell Labs researchers are developing nano-scale phones for the U.S. Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency consisting of radio transmitters about the diameter of a human hair. The transmitters could be used to look at processes within living cells and measure chemical potentials, electric fields and pressures.
“It’s also an opportunity to shrink existing technology to its practical limits,” Bishop told UPI’s Nano World.
The parts of mobile phones that help send and receive data rank among their most expensive and energy-draining components.
“With nanotechnology, you can lower costs, increase functionality and lower power,” Bishop said at a meeting of the NanoBusiness Alliance in New York.
