A group of 53 European stakeholders, composed of industrial and academic experts, has established a European Technology Platform on nanomedicine. The first task of this high level group was to write a vision document for this highly future-oriented area of nanotechnology-based healthcare in which experts describe an extrapolation of needs and ...
Carbon nanotube technology has shown to have the potential to alter drug delivery and biosensing methods for the better, and thus, carbon nanotubes have recently garnered interest in the field of medicine. The use of CNTs in drug delivery and biosensing technology has the potential to revolutionalize medicine.
Nanotechnology is the science and engineering of functional systems at the molecular scale. In its original sense, nanotechnology refers to the projected ability to construct items from the bottom up making complete, high-performance products. One nanometer (nm) is one billionth, or 10 −9, of a meter.
Bacteria identification and food quality monitoring using biosensors; intelligent, active, and smart food packaging systems; nanoencapsulation of bioactive food compounds are few examples of emerging applications of nanotechnology for the food industry. [2] Nanotechnology can be applied in the production, processing, safety and packaging of food.
Major obstacles to nanotube-based microelectronics include the absence of technology for mass production, circuit density, positioning of individual electrical contacts, sample purity, [79] control over length, chirality and desired alignment, thermal budget and contact resistance. One of the main challenges was regulating conductivity.
Nanotechnology is the manipulation of matter at the atomic scale to create materials, devices, or systems with new properties or functions. It has potential applications in energy, healthcare, industry, communications, agriculture, consumer products, and other sectors.
