Nanotech

Hello guys am just going to copy paste abt the so called & fast developing tech NANOTECH, coz i dont have any experience in it, but waan to know abt the tech if you too waan to know jus read the following post, but u need to have lot of paitence to read it ;D


1.What is nanotechnology? What is a nanometer?

Nanotechnology is the creation of useful materials, devices, and systems used to manipulate matter at an incredibly small scale -- between 1 and 100 nanometers.
A nanometer is one billionth of a meter - 1/80,000 the width of a human hair, or about ten times the diameter of a hydrogen atom. Such nanoscale objects can be useful by themselves, or as part of larger devices containing multiple nanoscale objects.


2. Why is nanotechnology an important tool for cancer research?


There are several reasons that nanotechnology could help transform cancer research and clinical approaches to cancer care:


• Most biological processes, including those processes leading to cancer, occur at the nanoscale. For cancer researchers, the ability of nanoscale devices to easily access the interior of a living cell affords the opportunity for unprecedented gains on both clinical and basic research frontiers.


• The ability to simultaneously interact with multiple critical proteins and nucleic acids at the molecular level will provide a better understanding of the complex regulatory and signaling patterns that govern the behavior of cells in their normal state as well as the transformation into malignant cells.


• Nanotechnology provides a platform for integrating research in proteomics -- the study of the structure and function of proteins, including the way they work and interact with each other inside cells -- with other scientific investigations into the molecular nature of cancer.

NOTE: If it was boring , lemme know so that i'll stop posting things like this in my blog IN FUTURE.
