Department of Computer Science & Information Technology The Technological Institute of Textile & Sciences Bhiwani, Haryana preity.grover@yahoo.com, deepakarora416@gmail.com Many years got spend in analyzing the technique – Nanotechnology and make it possible for Application. It involves the particles which are very small in size(1 to 100 nm) and measured as nanometers , if compared to human hair which is 80,000nm , the particles used in Nanotechnology is about thousands nanometers less than human hair. As the meaning of term accepted, working on it get started so as to give a new evolution to the world.

Abstract— Nanotechnology is an advance and globally implied technology for almost all real application. In today’s modern era the idea of large and complex size items are diverted in the compact items. Such technology enhanced materials will enable weight reduction accompanied by an increase in stability and improved functionality. Nanotechnology helps in realization of miniaturized devices and systems & attainment of high surface area to volume ratio. In this Paper we study about the impact on Energy by the use of Nanotechnology. Energy is the important factor because day by day energy is consuming rapidly, so for the Sustainable Development we have to conserve energy for the coming generation. Computer is the major electronic device used all over the world. Its importance can be imagined by the fact that today at every home one Computer or Laptop is present. Computer consumes large amount of energy because it has many subunits attached to it. We can save energy through a sensor. The main emphasis of this paper In North India users , there users working on computer he/she has to go for attending a call & his/her call is of 30-40 min ,he did not log off computer, at this moment the energy is going waste, so to save energy we attach a smart sensor to our screen, it will sense the human if human is near to computer or about at 5m then it will do nothing. And if he is not near , means human is away from the system(greater than 5m) then it will send the instruction to the operating system that please turn off the Screen and hibernate the computer after 2-3 minutes. We can also add new factor to it for data security. Say , when people turn on computer then the camera scan the eyes of person as a Secure password who is opening the operating system. IBM, Lenovo companies use this software for security. Sensors detects continuously, if above 3 minutes no one is operating the computer then it will turn off the screen after some time. If the eyes of person opening the Computer exactly matches to secure password then it will turn on the system and if matching process results failure, then system will not open. As a smart sensor save energy then we can save much amount of energy mainly in North India. Keywords- Nanotechnology ; Compact item ; Computer ; Sensors ; Energy ; Security.

Nanotechnology in India has brought the revolution by its characterstics , also it has huge potential. Formulating a roadmap for development of this kind of nanotechnology is now an objective of a broadly based technology roadmap project led by Battelle (the manager of several U.S. National Laboratories. Now a day’s Nanotechnology is being used in various fields like :Making fabrics , fast laptops and computers of small sizes , cleaning water process , making fuels , developing chemical sensors , in space elevator , energy , medical field , making electronics materials , in food , Agriculture , textile , cosmetics , in Catalysis process , construction, Environment , Security etc by this energy wastage decreases because of small size less power is consumed by it. Nanotechnological approaches like light-emitting diodes (LEDs) or quantum caged atoms (QCAs) could lead to a strong reduction of energy consumption.

A sensor is a sensing device that responds to a stimulus by generating a functional output induced by a change in some internal properties. In 20th century we all are surrounded by sensors and sensing networks that monitor a multitude of parameters in view of enhancing our safety and quality of life. Sensors helps in various fields : as in mobile phones, medical , health care and diagnostics, aerospace , monitor our environmental activities, game consoles and watches, also helpful in many human body functions. In Modern Era sensing systems have greatly benefited in recent decades from advances in microelectronics and micro engineering, mainly in view of making sensors smaller, cheaper, more sensitive, more selective, and with a better signal-to-noise ratio, following classical scaling rules. A nanotechnology will take a great impact for sensor technology in the nearest future. It will give an opportunity to develop small, inexpensive and highly efficient nanotechnology enabled sensors for different applications, which may offer significant advantages over conventional sensors due to dramatically enhanced widely utilized physical effects by the use of nano materials. Today, in the market many nanotechnology enable sensors in the market , but out of those smarter, cheaper, more sensitive and selective sensors will appear

II. NANOTECHNOLOGY IN COMPUTERS As we have discussed the application area of Nanotechnology in wide range of real application. Now we are going to describe the Application of Nanotechnology in Computers either in speeding up process by use of Silicon , computer memory made of grapheme, Magnetic fields created using nanotechnology could make computers up to 500 times faster.. As we have told earlier that the main emphasis of this paper is on North India Users . Let us suppose that a User is working on his Personal Computer or Laptop , if he/she has to attend a call in continuation of 30 minutes to 45 minutes or more , then he didn’t turn off his computer because he don’t know about how much time he has to communicate. At this time when user is busy on his call , the computer is on and consuming energy which is equivalent to wastage of energy. So as to overcome this energy we are using a Sensor .

Figure 5.

The Sensor which we want to use in energy-saving in Computer will continuously detect the human eye’s Retina , it checks whether human is in front of system or not. If he found by sensor that he is working on the system then continues sensing and don’t Log-off the system but if Sensor senses that no one is sitting in front of Computer then it calculates the time , when the time goes above 5 minutes then sensors send message to Operating System that the system is not in use , please turn off it , by this way energy get saved by the use of Sensors which is an Application of Nanotechnology.

The Sensors which we use for fulfilling requirement of our various Applications in various fields has the characterstics of "3 S's" that are critical in the sensor business, namely Sensitivity Selectivity Specificity Nanotechnology offers a unique advantage to the sensor industry by manipulating materials in the size regime at which sensing events occur. Sensors and nanotechnology have a complementary relationship since both rely upon molecular level phenomenon.
