What is Nanotechnology? What is it used for? “Nanotechnology is science, engineering, and

technology conducted at the Nano scale, which is about 1 to 100 nanometers. It is the study and

application of extremely small things and can be used across other related fields of study

(Nanotechnology 101, 2012).” Nanotechnology also refers to the development of “tiny

machines”, which are composed of atoms or molecules (Murphie, 2003). The Nano-bots, which

are smaller than human cells, work together to accomplish a specific task, for example, white

blood cells working together to protect your body from infection. In theory, Nano-bots are

capable of doing extraordinary tasks at the molecular level and are not limited to the world of

science. For example, in the world of medicine, they could repair or destroy cells, repair the

body from the ground up, and even carry oxygen or food to specific destinations within the body

(Murphie, 2003). A breakthrough in nanotechnology such as this would be huge! There are

millions of people around the world that suffer from illness and disease that could be easily

cured by nanotechnology. “Nanotechnologies are expected to be the dominant general purpose

technology of the next decade, affecting social and economic life dramatically (Ott, 2009).” Their

market value is expected to immense due to their seemingly endless potential. There was a

time when technology such as this seemed impossible to implement but as the relationship

between culture and technology grows, it is just a matter of time before society is using

nanotechnology on a day to day basis. = = = = =Bibliography=
