Nanotechnology in Biology and Medicine: Methods, Devices, and Applications
The combination of biology and nanotechnology has led to a new generation of nanodevices that make it possible to characterize the chemical, mechanical, and other molecular properties, as well as discover novel phenomena and biological processes occurring at the molecular level. These advances provide science with a wide range of tools for biomedical applications in therapeutic, diagnostic, and preventive medicine.

Why are properties of material at the nonsecular important in nanotechnology?
Question by Emre: Why are properties of material at the nonsecular important in nanotechnology?
Why are properties of material at the nanoscale important in nanotechnology? Can anyone provide website. And what does it mean?
Best answer:
Answer by MTF=
your question doesnt make sense… but nanotechnology is on the nanoscale, manipulating materials at this level is a hope for the future of science to create better, smaller and more efficient technology. Im sure i read in multiple websites that the household computer with all its specs can be made to be the size of a bacteria. But nanotechnology is a broad feild,
if your looking at advantages check out..

and also disadvantages i can only think of the ‘grey goo’ thoery, which is totally stupid, but go for your life,
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grey_goo
but if you wanna understand the basics of it at the atomic level check these out..

bear in mind the date of the websites as future ambitions may be slightly unrealistic by todays standard, or nanotechnology may have developed since then. best of luck.

If we all are right to begin with, that a raw food diet is best, then the future of medicine, reliant on nanotechnology… would not be necessary. What?
An article published in Advances in Anti-Aging suggests diseases and poor-health are largely the result of damage that occurs at the molecular level of the body, and at the cellular level of the body. Many believe that modern medicine is in fact somewhat of a dinosaur, and that most medicinal instruments, especially surgical tools including the scalpel, are at best more likely to injure and harm someone than help or sure them.
So what is a person to do? Turn to nanotechnology.
What is Nanotechnology?
Nanotechnology is a term used to define the manufacturing of technology that occurs during the 21st century. This means creating complex machines capable of interacting with humans on a molecular level, or creating molecular computers.
Nanotechnology suggests it is possible to create molecular tools that are smaller than human cells, and those that can interact with cells at the same level of ability that drugs like antibiotics could. These tools would, theoretically, let modern medical experts control what happens to the human body at the cellular and molecular level, suggesting it would be easier than ever to control what happens in the human body before damage at the cellular level really occurs.
Theoretically one might be able to remove or cure cancer, or create or regenerate the heart.
It sounds like it is almost space age, too good to be true and yet scientists at this very moment are thinking quite the opposite, that it is a real possibility. Nanotechnology would require scientists build systems that would be capable of replicating or reproducing themselves. So, you are basically talking about a computer that is about the size of a cell capable of “thinking” on its own, at least enough to replicate or reproduce.
It’s almost scary if you think about it.
How Does Nanotechnology Work?
How would it work? A device would enter the body, identify harmful cells, and then hit the cells with some chemical it was carrying like the diseases antidote (a drug of some sort) until the diseased cells were eradicated.
The tiny computer could then remain in the body and periodically provide surveillance and updated information to an outside computer or medical health professional. These results could indicate the long-term health of this individual and whether they experience any type of relapse of some sort.
The objects would function somewhat like ultrasound does on the exterior, because much of what they do is reliant on acoustics to computer signals and sounds and pictures. A computer chip could identify cancer cells for example by finding the cell and then attaching a certain acoustic signal to it, based on its genetic make up. It would then survey the rest of the body for cells with the same genetic make up because all cells are different, and then attach the treatment or “cure” to cells in the body with the same genetic make up.
If you think about it, it is truly one of the greatest accomplishments every thought of or created by a scientist. Is it without fault? Not yet. As with any new invention there are quite a few snafus to work out, but not so many that it would be impossible to get done by a committed professional.
Others suggest nanotechnology may be the perfect instrument to support the circulation and metabolism of individuals with metabolic disorders, especially among children that may experience tissue and brain damage if they have a venous problem that inhibits blood flow to any of their organs.
This type of problem however is much more often apparent and common in elder
