Nanotechnology

ABSTRACT

Nanotechnology means technological developments on a nanometer scale, usually 0.1-100nm. The application of nanotechnology in medicine offers impressive solutions for various life-threatening diseases. nanoparticle -carrying drugs can 'target' the drug to the parts of the body where it is needed, can escape uptake by the immune system and can cross biological barriers. Hence, providing reduced drug side effects and improved drug efficacy. With the advances in the field of nanotechnology, manufacture of nanorobot is expected to be created in the next 10 years. this automatic molecular machine can swim in human blood, can view full cellular details, can monitor levels of different compounds, and can store that information. This device can also be used to deliver drugs or perform wireless intracellular and intranuclear surgery. Nanotissue samples can be taken as well. Nanomedicine can hopefully conquer human disease, illhealth, and aging
