"Nano-Tooling versus Nano-Sizing "
Dr.Elishalom Yechiel, Ph.D.
President Elsom Research Co., Inc.
(VIDEO CONFERENCED FROM SAN ANTONIO WINSTEAD OFFICE)
Abstract:
While nano-sizing is an accredited feature of nano-technology, it is at the same time the more basic, simple, and even simplistic aspect for looking at nano-technology. Nano-sizing is an ancient trick and was even applied in potions made in ancient Egypt and other ancient cultures by simple - prolonged - grinding. On the other hand, patterning of small particles involves a completely different level of complexity and sophistication.
Tooling in nano-technology implies that the real challenges of the field begin where small particles are thought to be organized in certain patterns rather than randomly distributed. Nano-technology exposes its great challenges mostly where special applications and tooling are co-developed.
