В нанотехнологиях используются практические методы исследования, анализа и синтеза, а также методы производства и применения продуктов с заданной атомной структурой путём контролируемого манипулирования отдельными атомами и молекулами. Современная наука показала, что если взять очень маленькую частицу вещества, то она может иметь совершенно новые свойства. Частицы размерами от 1 до 100 нанометров обычно называют «наночастицами». Наночастицы некоторых материалов обладают очень хорошими каталитическими и адсорбционными свойствами. Другие материалы показывают удивительные оптические свойства, например, сверхтонкие пленки органических материалов применяются для производства солнечных батарей.

Inorganic nanomaterials, (e.g. quantum dots, nanowires and nanorods) because of their interesting optical and electrical properties, could be used in optoelectronics. Nanoparticles or nanocrystals made of metals, semiconductors, or oxides are of particular interest for their mechanical, electrical, magnetic, optical, chemical and other properties. Nanoparticles have been used as quantum dots and as chemical catalysts such as nanomaterial-based catalysts. Recently, a range of nanoparticles are extensively investigated for biomedical applications including tissue engineering, drug delivery, biosensor. Nanoparticles are of great scientific interest as they are effectively a bridge between bulk materials and atomic or molecular structures. A bulk material should have constant physical

properties regardless of its size, but at the nanoscale this is often not the case. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nanomaterials

Advantages of Nanotechnologies
Molecular nanotechnology (MNT) is a technology based on the ability
to build structures to complex, atomic specifications by means of mechanosynthesis. One proposed application of MNT is so-called smart materials. This term refers to any sort of material designed and engineered at the nanometer scale for a specific task. One example would be materials designed to respond differently to various molecules; such a capability could lead, for example, to artificial drugs which would recognize and render inert specific viruses. Another is the idea of self-healing structures, which would repair small tears in a surface naturally in the same way as self-sealing tires or human skin.
Another simple example: a photosensor might passively measure the incident light and discharge its absorbed energy as electricity when the light passes above or below a specified threshold, sending a signal to a larger machine. Such a sensor would supposedly cost less and use less power than a conventional sensor, and yet function usefully in all the same applications
- for example, turning on parking lot lights when it gets dark.
Replicating nanorobots.
MNT nanofacturing is popularly linked with the idea of swarms of coordinated nanoscale robots working together, and constructing more nanorobots in an artificial environment containing special molecular building blocks. One of the most important applications of MNT is medical nanorobotics or nanomedicine. The ability to design, build, and deploy large numbers of medical nanorobots would make possible the rapid elimination of disease and the reliable and relatively painless recovery from physical trauma. Medical nanorobots might also make possible the convenient correction of genetic defects, and help to ensure a greatly expanded lifespan. More controversially, medical nanorobots might be used
53
to augment natural human capabilities. However, mechanical medical nanodevices would not be allowed to self-replicate inside the human body, nor would medical nanorobots have any need for self-replication themselves since they would be manufactured exclusively in carefully regulated nanofactories.
Utility fog
Another proposed application of molecular nanotechnology is "utility fog" - in which a cloud of networked microscopic robots would change its shape and properties to form macroscopic objects and tools in accordance with software commands. Rather than modify the current practices of consuming material goods in different forms, utility fog would simply replace many physical objects.
Phased-array optics
Yet another proposed application of MNT would be phased-array optics (PAO). PAO would use the principle of phased-array millimeter technology but at optical wavelengths. This would permit the duplication of any sort of optical effect but virtually. Users could request holograms, sunrises and sunsets, or floating lasers as the mood strikes.

Food engineering is a multidisciplinary field of applied physical
sciences which combines science, microbiology, and engineering education for food and related industries. Food engineering includes, but is not limited to, the application of agricultural engineering, mechanical engineering and chemical engineering principles to food materials. Food engineers provide the technological knowledge transfer essential to the cost effective production and commercialization of food products and services.
Specific food engineering activities include:
research and development of new foods, biological and pharmaceutical
products;
development and operation of manufacturing, packaging and
distributing systems for drug/food products;
design and installation of food/biological/pharmaceutical production
processes;
design and operation of environmentally responsible waste treatment
systems;
marketing and technical support for manufacturing plants.
In the development of food engineering, one of the many challenges is to employ modern tools, technology, and knowledge, such as computational materials science and nanotechnology, to develop new products and processes. Simultaneously, improving quality, safety, and security remain critical issues in food engineering study. New packaging materials and techniques are being developed to provide more protection to foods, and novel preservation technology is emerging. Additionally, process control and automation regularly appear among the top priorities identified in food engineering. Furthermore, energy saving and minimization of environmental problems continue to be important food engineering issues, and significant progress is being made in waste management, efficient utilization of energy, and reduction of effluents and emissions in food production.

Food technology is a branch of food science that deals with the production processes that make foods. Early scientific research into food technology concentrated on food preservation. Nicolas Appert’s development in 1810 of the canning process was a decisive event. Louis
Paster’s research on the spoilage of wine and his description of how to
avoid spoilage in 1864 was an early attempt to apply scientific knowledge to food handling. Besides research into wine spoilage, Pasteur researched the production of alcohol, vinegar, wines and beer, and the souring of milk. He developed pasteurization – the process of heating milk and milk products to destroy food spoilage and disease-producing organisms. In his research into food technology, Pasteur became the pioneer into bacteriology and of modern preventive medicine.

Производственные процессы в пищевой промышленности можно рассматривать как технологические операции, связанные с подготовкой сырья, непосредственной его обработкой и получением готовой продукции. Наиболее общие процессы пищевого производства – это ферментация, тепловая обработка, обезвоживание и дистилляция. Ферментацию применяют в пекарнях, пивоварении, в производстве вина и спирта, в сыродельной промышленности. Тепловая обработка используется в большинстве технологических процессов при консервировании мяса, рыбы, овощей и плодов. Обезвоживание используется при производстве растворимого кофе. Дистилляция используется, например, в производстве спирта.
