... Nanotechnology In General 2
III. ... All The Possibilities Regarding Nanotechnology 4
V. ... Introduction
Nanotechnology is basically the future. ... It is hard to describe nanotechnology, also known as nanotech, for it is a relatively new science and, depending on whom you ask, it has varied definitions. ... Nanotechnology In General
Nano is a derivation of the Greek word for “midget” and it also means one billionth of a meter (3). Depending on whom you ask, the definition of nanotechnology will be very different. ... There is two “kinds” of nanotech out there, one being “top-down” nanotech, which deals in taking already existing technologies and putting them to the nanoscale level, and the other being “bottom-up” nanotech, which deals in creating objects atom by atom, molecule by molecule, this is also referred to as molecular nanotechnology (MNT)(1,5). ... “Many companies are already in clinical trials for drug delivery mechanisms based on nanotechnology”(6), the current application of this nanomachine is for improved delivery to areas by passing through the pulmonary or epithermal systems instead of the stomach, thus reducing side-effects and improving the drugs usefulness (6). ... But once again, this is nothing but fiction for the level of nanotechnology has not even come close to conceiving assemblers. ... All The Possibilities Regarding Nanotechnology
There are quite a few new breakthroughs in the world of nanotechnology. ... As stated before, the limits are boundless if we achieve the top levels of nanotechnology, but there is a fine line between possibilities and science fiction. ... But one must always remember that even though nanotechnology offers a world of possibilities, the line between reality and science fiction is quite fine, and one must thread delicately along it, especially when working with nanotech.
