Nanotech Labs
The nanotech lab at UC Berkeley is called this.
What is the Marvell Nanofabrication Laboratory?
These computers use semiconductors to run and transmit signals properly.
What are ALL of them?
Nanomechanics focuses on these three systems of energy at nanoscale.
What is kinetic, elastic, and thermal energy?
Nanobots fall at this size range, typically, at least the ones used for bioscience and medical use.
What is 0.5-2 µm?
The "picometer" is this many times smaller than a meter.
What is 1 trillion?
Nanotechnology labs can typically be found in these complexes.
What are universities?
The word "nanolithography" comes from these three Latin roots.
What are:
1. nano - "tiny"
2. lith - "stone"
3. graphy - "writing:
As in, "tiny writing on stone".
List at least three fields nanomechanics is in.
What are biophysics, classical mechanics, solid-state physics, statistical mechanics, materials science, and quantum chemistry?
This person invented nanobots.
Who is Adriano Cavalcanti?
The "zeptometer" is this many times smaller than a meter.
What is 1 sextillion?
The university that this nanolab is located in was founded in October of 1825, in Germany.
What is KIT INT, or the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology's Institute of Nanotechnology?
The process of engraving patterns into a silicon wafer for use as a transistor is called this.
What is lithography?
These are random deviations of an atomic system from its average state, that occur in a system at equilibrium.
What are thermal fluctuations?
This practice is a very-high-resolution type of scanning probe microscopy (SPM), with demonstrated resolution on the order of fractions of a nanometer, more than 1000 times better than the optical diffraction limit.
What is atomic force microscopy (AFM) or scanning force microscopy (SFM)?
A nanometer is this many times smaller than the diameter of the Earth.
What is about 12 quadrillion?
The lab at UC Berkeley has this many employees.
What is 25?
The Apple iPhone 15 series and Apple M3 series architecture is based off of a semiconductor process this big.
What is 3 nm?
This is the portion of a system's entropy that is related to discrete representative positions of its constituent particles.
What is configuration entropy?
Nanorobots offer this specific advantage over conventional, non-engine nanomaterials.
What is autonomy?
It takes light this long to cross an atom.
What is 1 attosecond, or 0.001 femtoseconds?
This person leads the team at the nanotech lab at Duke University.
Who is Dr. Michael Therien?
This lithography technique is cheaper than others; it uses polydimethylsiloxane and only works at micron size and larger.
What is soft lithography?
This is an elastic (reversible) response to an applied stress, caused by a phase transformation between the austenitic and martensitic phases of a crystal, exhibited in shape-memory alloys.
What is pseudoelasticity (or superelasticity)?
Nanobots are commonly made from these two materials.
What are silicone and oxygen? (Answers that would also work: carbon, silicon)
Theoretically, quarks are made of smaller particles, preons. Preons are about this big.
What is about 2 zeptometers?
