How Nanotechnology Can Change the Concrete World
Abstract
Nanotechnology deals with the production and application of physical, chemical and biological systems at scales ranging from a few nanometers to submicron dimensions. The most promising contemporary developments include the synthesis of new forms of carbon: fullerene and carbon nanotubes. Carbon nanotubes are sometimes represented as a graphene sheet rolled into a cylinder with specific alignment of hexagonal rings and hemifullerenes attached to the tips. Nanotube applications include nanoelectronic devices, tips for scanning probe microscopes, bio/chemical sensors, catalyst supports, gas storage/separation devices, drug delivery systems, self-healing technologies, composite materials and strength enhancements. Three groups of nanomaterials can be specified based on their geometry/shape: quantum well, quantum wire and quantum dot. One of the principal structural units in nanotechnology is quantum dot or nanoparticles. Nanotechnology remains in its pre-exploration stage; it is just emerging from fundamental research to the industrial application.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
