Essay / The use of nanotechnology in medicine - 779
Nanotechnology and medicineWhat is nanotechnology? Not very commonly talked about, but very commonly used. We use nanotechnology, smartphones, computers, electronic tablets on a daily basis, and it is now very famous in medicine. In the word “Nano” means a billionth (10-9). Nanotechnology is defined as the study of structures whose size is between 1 nanometer and 100 nanometers. How big is a nano…really? A Nano is for extremely small objects, larger than atoms, but smaller than you can see with an optical microscope. Nanotechnology uses the basic unit of measurement and it represents a billionth of a meter or a billionth of a room. Nanoscale structures, devices and systems now have sizes less than 100 nm. They also contain: • A hydrogen atom of 0.04 nm • Proteins of 1 to 20 nm • A typical computer chip size of 90 nm • A human hair diameter of 10 nm • A sugar molecule of 1 nm Nanowires and nanotubes have physical and optical properties due to dimensional quantum confinement, dimensionality, and high surface volume. The ratioBio-nano material, known for its medical uses, contains proteins, enzymes, DNA and RNA. Today, the technological changes are extraordinary, we have moved to: • inches to microns • microns to nanometers • rods to Litho wires • Litho wires to Nano wires • Light hammer • Lightweight self-assembly • Bad to Excellent • Excellent to Unknown All of this happened over the years in a considerable amount of time. We have already seen the rapid growth of today's technology, more efficient and powerful small computer systems, cost-effective technology for energy production - solar cells, fuel cells, batteries and biofuels. Nanomedicine is the newest and the rise of today's technology involves monitoring, repairing and doing impossible things, like rebuilding cells and/or mimicking healthy cells. This would slow down the aging process and prolong life. . This is a very big revolutionary step and there has been much debate about cell duplication. We are in the age of radical abundance, which means rapid progression to today's technology and a large mass of it all at once. Nanotechnology has been around since the 1900s but was finally mastered in the late 1980s by Mr. Eric Drexler. Greatly influenced by the lectures of Richard F. “There's Plenty of Room at the Bottom,” Eric Drexler took the idea of manipulating atoms to the next level using machines based on the nanoscale. device and products built with atomic precision. A magical future where Drexler's researched ideas. He believes that the past, the present, and the possible are how it all happened. Cause and effect model.
