Medical Nanotechnology - Nanotech will impact energy, production, environmental remediation, the military, and; most importantly - medicine and health.


Interested in the medical and health potential benefits (and dangers) of nanotechnology? Here's a neat video with a great background of information for you.



I have been reading a lot about medical nanotechnology, and firmly believe that all medicine will be nanotech medicine by 2050.

Medical nanotechnology is involved with the monitoring, repair, construction and control of biological systems at the molecular level.  Medical nanotechnology uses tools which are engineered nanodevices and nanostructures - tools which are measured in the billionth of a meter.  One nanometer is roughly about 6 hydrogen atoms in a row.

Many of the products of current day biotechnology will be enormously useful in medical applications. However, the full promise of medical nanotechnology will not take place until after the development of precisely controlled medical micromachines, nanomachines and nanorobots.

Micromachines are already available, and once nanomachines are available, programmable and controllable microscale robots will allow physicians to perform curative and reconstructive procedures at the cellular level.

The ability to direct processes at the cellular level is the "holy grail" of medicine - which will provide us with greatly expanded health and greatly expanded lifespans.


If you are interested in the emerging field of medical nanotechnology, you will find that information within www.MedicalNanotechnology.net is appropriate, accessible, and helpful.  Please bookmark this website, as it will be continually updated with "lay person" information about current and emerging nanotech findings in the medical and health fields.  Thanks for stopping by!
