1. The word ___ is a scientific prefix that stands for 10-9 or one-billionth
and comes from the Greek word nanos, meaning dwarf. 2.___ is the study of
phenomena and fine-tuning of materials at atomic, molecular and
macromolecular scales, where properties differ significantly from those at a
larger scale. 3. In recent decades the development of ___capable of displaying
particles as small as atoms has allowed scientists to see what they are working
with. 4. The ability to see materials has opened up a world of possibilities
in a variety of industries and scientific endeavors. 5. and bucky balls are
composed of only carbon and their strength comes from special characteristics
of the bonds between carbon atoms. 6. Researchers believe that raw materials
can be used to reproduce almost any inanimate object using ___.7. Researchers
are developing customized the size of molecules that can deliver drugs
directly to diseased cells in your body. 8. Companies are developing ___that
will make a difference not only in the taste of food, but also in food safety, and
the health benefits that food delivers. 9. Because of the small size of nanotubes,
, or nanoparticles, a few gas molecules are sufficient to change the
electrical properties of the sensing elements. 10. Current nanotechnology
applications in the sports arena include increasing the of tennis racquets,
filling any imperfections in club shaft materials and reducing the rate at which
air leaks from tennis balls. 11. Making composite fabric with nano-sized
particles or fibers allows of fabric properties without a significant increase
in weight, thickness, or stiffness as might have been the case with previouslyused techniques. 12. are composed of carbon atoms linked to three other
carbon atoms by covalent bonds.
