Réinventer le monde par la nanotechnologie


<< Retour à la table des matières - Lexiques et vocabulaires
Vous attendez une nouvelle révolution? La nanotechnologie nous permettra peut-être de refaire le monde atome par atome ou molécule par molécule. Elle s’applique déjà à fabriquer des tissus qui ne se salissent pas ou qui ne se mouillent pas, des matériaux plus légers que le plastique, mais plus résistants que l'acier, des nanorobots qui peuvent pénétrer à l'intérieur du corps pour administrer des médicaments ou effectuer des traitements, et plusieurs autres objets aux propriétés nouvelles. En utilisant des instruments comme le microscope à effet tunnel ou le microscope à force atomique, nous pouvons manipuler la matière à l'échelle nanométrique, pour fabriquer des nano-objets 30 000 fois plus petits qu'un cheveu humain, ne mesurant que quelques nanomètres, c'est-à-dire quelques milliardièmes de mètre. Découvrez dès maintenant les termes utilisés dans le nanomonde. La liste des termes qui suit contient l'ensemble des concepts de base utilisés en nanotechnologie. Les fiches terminologiques complètes correspondant aux termes présentés dans cet index ainsi que d'autres fiches portant sur des concepts plus spécifiques sont disponibles dans le Grand dictionnaire terminologique. Si le lecteur veut connaître les termes qu'on utilise dans une autre langue que le français ou l'anglais, il pourra parcourir le Vocabulaire panlatin de la nanotechnologie disponible dans le site de l'Office québécois de la langue française.
