Essay / Informational Essay on Nanotechnology - 715
Topic: NanotechnologySpecific Objective: To inform my audience about what nanotechnology is and how it can/has benefited us in the near future.Statement of thesis: I would like to inform you about what nanotechnology is, what it has done/can (do) for us in the long term, and an example or new discovery in nanotechnology to help you better understand what it 'is.Introduction:I. Has anyone ever read the Ironman Comics?II. In the extremis comics, Tony Stark injects himself with what is said to be nanotechnology; he injects it into his bloodstream to be able to control the combinations he will use later, with a simple movement of his body. Cool, right? The possibilities are endless…III. Technology has come a long way in our modern world, from the creation of a stone ax to the discovery of fire and now nanotechnology.IV. Today I would like to inform you about what it is, what it has/can (do) for us in the long term, and an example or new discovery in nanotechnology to help you to better understand what it is.Transition: So, what does nanotechnology mean in our world today?Body:I. According to the National Nanotechnology Coordination Office, nanotechnology "is science, engineering and technology carried out at the nanoscale, which is approximately 1 to 100 nanometers." A. A nanometer is one billionth of a meter, a sheet of paper is approximately 100,000 nanometers thick.B. According to (Google Books Ngram Viewer), nanotechnology did not become a widely used term until the late 1940s, even then it was not widely used.1. Richard Feynman was the first known professor to lecture on nanotechnologya) In Feynman's biography on (Nobelprize.org) it was shown that he was appointed professor of theoretical physics...... mid the article......graphite – ultimately leading to a single layer of carbon. »B. Graphene is an interesting substance because,1. As Anthony King points out, graphene “could be used to create lighter, more robust, transparent, flexible and stretchable products”. Such as: a) Flexible touch screen monitors. b) Better solar panels. c) Use in hygiene products as indicated in (physic.org) due to its effectiveness in “killing E Coli bacteria”. Transition: Nanotechnology has come a long way and will continue to thrive.Conclusion:I. Just like it helped Tony Stark fight evil in the comic book world. Nanotechnology can help us with this too and much more.1. It's simply about seeing our world at the nanoscale and seeing how it has benefited us and how it will benefit us in the years to come, just like graphene has done and how it will continue to do in the years to come..
