Nanovip All things Nanotechnology – Nano Is The Futiure

ST. JOSEPH – St. Joseph-Ogden High School Biology students are learning about cutting edge technology. The students in Brad Allen’s Biology II class spent time this month learning about nanotechnology. They studied “nanoscale chemical-electrical-mechanical manufacturing systems,” Allen said. “This kind of research addresses a central problem in the development of nanotechnology: how to assemble structures at sizes smaller than can be ...

Question by laptoprabbit: How does Nanotechnology or Drugs in General find specific Target Areas? I’m wondering, for example, you take medicine for a painful kidney (this is just for instance). How does the medicine know exactly where to go? Let’s take this a step further and pretend we are dealing with nanotechnology. How would the nanos (basically, really small particles) ... Read More »
