Bionanotechnology

Recent developments in Nanotechnology (a technology that concerns structures, devices and phenomena where the critical functionality occurs on a length scale which encompasses the range between atomic distances and the limit of optical resolution 0.1nm to 250nm), and Bionanotechnology (a branch of Nanotechnology that either uses biological starting materials, biological design principles, or has biological applications) are enabling biologists to confront fundamental questions about protein functions. It is anticipated that in the future both technologies …

…be made to open and close at will. This development is particularly exciting as one can readily envisage duplication and directed assembly of such a device. This article and the technology in general greatly effect my life because through the study of this technology scientists and doctors could engineer tissue which could help a wounded person and scientists could use this technology for the many things I summarized above that were included in this article.
