    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nanomedicine

    Nanomedicine is the medical application of nanotechnology. [ 1 ] Nanomedicine ranges from the medical applications of nanomaterials and biological devices, to nanoelectronic biosensors, and even possible future applications of molecular nanotechnology such as biological machines. Current problems for nanomedicine involve understanding the ...

  3. Self-assembly of nanoparticles - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Self-assembly_of_nanoparticles

    The top-down approach is breaking down of a system into small components, while bottom-up is assembling sub-systems into larger system. [15] A bottom-up approach for nano-assembly is a primary research target for nano-fabrication because top down synthesis is expensive (requiring external work) and is not selective on very small length scales, but is currently the primary mode of industrial ...

  4. Nanotechnology - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nanotechnology

    Nanotechnology is the manipulation of matter with at least one dimension sized from 1 to 100 nanometers (nm). At this scale, commonly known as the nanoscale, surface area and quantum mechanical effects become important in describing properties of matter. This definition of nanotechnology includes all types of research and technologies that deal ...
