    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.

  3. Impact of nanotechnology - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Impact_of_nanotechnology

    As nanotechnology is an emerging field, there is great debate regarding to what extent nanotechnology will benefit or pose risks for human health. Nanotechnology's health impacts can be split into two aspects: the potential for nanotechnological innovations to have medical applications to cure disease, and the potential health hazards posed by ...

  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 ...

  5. Applications of nanotechnology - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Applications_of_nanotechnology

    Nanotechnology is giving rise to nanographene batteries that can store energy more efficiently and weigh less. [26] Lithium-ion batteries have been the primary battery technology in electronics for the last decade, but the current limits in the technology make it difficult to densify batteries due to the potential dangers of heat and explosion ...

  6. Nanoparticle drug delivery - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nanoparticle_drug_delivery

    Where C s is the saturation solubility of the nanocrystal, C 𝛼 is the solubility of the drug at a non-nano scale, σ is the interfacial tension of the substance, V is the molar volume of the particle, R is the gas constant, T is the absolute temperature, 𝜌 is the density of the solid, and r is the radius. [28]

  7. Heart nanotechnology - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heart_Nanotechnology

    Nanotechnology of the heart is a lot less invasive than surgery because everything is occurring at a minuscule level in the body compared to relatively large tissues that are dealt with in surgery. With our technology today, heart surgeries are performed to treat the damaged heart tissue that resulted from a heart attack.

  8. Nanoparticles for drug delivery to the brain - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nanoparticles_for_drug...

    One example of cationic liposomes uses bolaamphiphiles, which contain hydrophilic groups surrounding a hydrophobic chain to strengthen the boundary of the nano-vesicle containing the drug. Bolaamphiphile nano-vesicles can cross the BBB, and they allow controlled release of the drug to target sites. [ 5 ]
