Explain nanotechnology and how it intersects with biotechnology
What will be an ideal response?
Nanotechnology is a multidisciplinary science that builds structures at the nanometer
(i.e., one billionth of a meter) scale. Applications are being developed in the field of
nanomedicine, such as nanodevice sensors for better detection of glucose in diabetic patients and
nanoparticles that can help unclog arteries. At this point in time, the applications of
nanotechnology to medicine appear limitless and each day brings new discoveries.
