Nano
The nanoscale is about a thousand times smaller than micro that is, about 1/80,000 of the diameter of a human hair. Approximately 3 to 6 atoms can fit inside of a nanometer, depending on the atom. Nano means ten to the minus ninth power (10-9), or one billionth.
Nanoscale technologies use the devices of only a few nanometres. Single molecules and atoms can be manipulated by nanotechnologists.
Nanobacteria
Nanobacteria are the smallest cell-walled organisms on earth. The size of nanobacteria is smaller than the generally accepted lower limit of about 200 nanometers.Some researchers suggest that they are a new class of living organisms capable of incorporating radiolabeled uridine, while other investigators attribute to them a simpler, abiotic nature.
Nanobe
Nanobes first found in some rocks and sediments. They have tiny filamental structure. It has a morphology similar to actinomycetes and fungi. No conclusive evidence exists about these organisms and their classification.
Nanobes are 20 nm in length which may be too small to contain the basic elements for an organism to exist (DNA, plasmids, etc).
Some researchers believe that these structures are crystal growths, but the staining of these structures with dyes that bind to DNA .Nanobes are similar in size to nanobacteria ( small living organisms).
Nanobacteria are supposed to be cellular organisms, while nanobes are hypothesized to be a previously unknown form of life. It is a living organism (contains DNA or some analogue, and reproduces).
Nanocages
Gold nanoparticles absorb light in the visible spectrum of light (at about 550 nm) and kills surrounding cancer cells.
They are biocompatible and a contrast agent for optical coherence tomography, which uses light scattering in a way analogous to ultrasound to produce in-vivo images of tissue with resolution approaching a few micrometres. A contrast agent is required to image cancers at an early, more treatable stage.
Nanochemistry
Nanochemistry is the science of tools, technologies, and methodologies for chemical synthesis, analysis, and biochemical diagnostics performed in nanolitre to femtolitre domains.
It is used to make nanoscale building blocks of desired shape, size, composition and surface structure.Nanochemistry use semi-conductors and the semi-conductors are much smaller than normal conductors.
Nanocomputer
Nanocomputer is much smaller than the microcomputer and the minicomputer. A computer with circuitry is so small and it can only be seen through a microscope.
The fundamental parts of nanocomputer are no bigger than a few nanometers. Mechanical, electronic, biochemical, or quantum technology can built the nanocomputers and it mainly deals with materials at a molecular level.
Nano computing
It is a clone of Pico, the editor of the Pine email client. In this, nano is a curses-based text editor for Unix and Unix-like systems. Nano aims to emulate the functionality and easy-to-use interface of Pico.
