Well, now that you understand why nanotechnology holds so much promise lets go over a few applications of nanotechnology being used today.
Nanomedicine
|
Nanomedicine is the application of nanotechnology to health, regarding
the treatment and detection of disease. The link below addresses targeted
chemotherapy with the use of nanocarriers. Nanocarriers, much like the one to the right, loaded with cancer
fighting drugs are able to recognize cancerous cells and apply the drugs
directly to tumors. For more information on this press the link below.

Nanoenergy
|
Nanoenergy is the manufacture of more efficient batteries, fuel cells,
and solar cells assembled under the nanoscale. The link below connects to a
nano-energy page that is update constantly with new discoveries regarding the
field. Look around if you are interested in this application of nanotech.
