Nanotechnology in Medicine: Tiny Machines, Big Impact
Nanotechnology in Medicine: Tiny Machines, Big Impact Nanotechnology in Medicine: Tiny Machines, Big Impact Nanotechnology is no longer science fiction — it's an active frontier in medicine. From nanoparticles that deliver chemotherapy directly to tumors to nanosensors that detect disease early, these microscopic innovations promise safer, more effective treatments and a revolution in diagnostics. What Is Medical Nanotechnology? Nanotechnology deals with materials and devices measured in nanometers (one billionth of a meter). At this scale, materials often exhibit unique physical, chemical, and biological properties. In medicine, these capabilities are harnessed to create nanomedicine : drug carriers, diagnostic tools, imaging agents, and even microscopic machines (nanorobots) that interact with cells and biomolecules in ways traditional therapies cannot.
