Micro and nanotechnologies are revolutionising medicine

More information: ec.europa.eu. Micro and nanotechnologies are revolutionising medicine ‘Almost invisible’ tools are being developed by European researchers to discover diseases earlier and to treat patients better. The miniaturisation of instruments to micro and nano dimensions promises to make our future lives safer and cleaner. A team of European researchers from the Fraunhofer Institute for Biomedical Technologies Institute near Saarbruecken is using nanotechnology to improve diagnostic capabilities. In the “Adonis”-project, nano-sized gold particles are used to detect prostate cancer cells at an early stage.

Preventing Adverse Health Effects from Nanotechnology

From smartphones to skincare, there are currently over 1000 commercial products containing nanomaterials, with applications as far ranging as the fields of medicine, engineering, electronics and energy production. This session of Public Health Grand Rounds focuses on the current state of knowledge in nanotechnology and discusses concerns about the harmful impact that exposure to some nanomaterials may have on humans and the environment.

www.nanotransformation.com Bionanotech and nanobiotech are terms that are used interchangeably. This is not technically correct. Nanobiotech can use nano-elements that are not created by living organisms. (bio molecules) Bionanotech must use bio molecules to further the agenda of Biotech (big Pharma and big Agro). Nanobiotech can use nano assemblers and nanobots that include zeolites, elements, nano minerals and the rest.
