奈米科技在食品上的應用 葉安義, 教授兼所長 台灣大學食品科技研究所 奈米科技與生活研討會 宜蘭大學 October 11, 2007 “There’s Plenty of Room at the Bottom ” By Richard P. Feynman (著名物理學家 理查費曼. ) The annual meeting of the American Physical Society at the California Institute of Technology on December 29, 1959 The speech was first published in the February 1960 issue of Caltech’s Engineering and Science What is Nanotechnology? While many definitions for nanotechnology exist, the NNI calls it nanotechnology only if it involves all of the following: 1. Research and technology development at the atomic, molecular or macromolecular levels, in the length scale of approximately 1 - 100 nanometer range. 2. Creating and using structures, devices and systems that have novel properties and functions because of their small and/or intermediate size. 3. Ability to control or manipulate on the atomic scale. National Nanotechnology Initiative /html/facts/whatIsNano.html Definitions of Nanoscience and Nanotechnologies Nanoscience is the study of phenomena and manipulation of materials at atomic, molecular and macromolecular scales, where properties differ significantly from those at a larger scale. Nanotechnologies are the design, characterisation, production and application of structures, devices and systems by controlling shape and size at nanometre scale.
