Nanotech safety
Friday, July 17th, 2009The safety of nanotechnology, the science of “engineering systems at a molecular scale”, has been paid little attention until recently, as more and more applications for the technology are being found. The main focus is on the safety of nanomedicine, the application of nanotechnology to the field of medicine. The concern is that materials behave [...]

Who’s who in nanotechnology?
Friday, July 17th, 2009The first person to talk about the concepts that we know today as “nanotechnology” was Richard Feynman, at his famous lecture, “There’s Plenty of Room at the Bottom”, in December 1959. However, it would be almost 20 years before any nanotechnology devices came into production. In 1974, Norio Taniguchi of the Tokyo Science University first [...]

Applications of nanomedicine
Friday, July 17th, 2009Applications and uses of nanomedicine Nanomedicine is when nanotechnology, the science of things smaller than 1000 nanometres in size, is applied to the field of medicine. There are a wide variety of uses in this area, ranging from the use of biosensors for detection of anomalies in the body, such as high blood sugar concentration, [...]
