       Nanotechnology allows us to change the molecular structure of any object. In theory, we could turn trash into a desirable sandwich. We could alter the molecular structure of a rock and transform it into a handheld phone. Nanotechnology has the potential to completely transform the world. It will and has played a major role in medicine. With each new discovery, nanotechnology is extending to the life expectancy of humans. 

    Developments such as the diagnostic sensors, biomarkers, and tissue engineering will revolutionize the medical field in the very

The future applications of nanotechnology contain an endless amount of possibilities.

The Future of Nanobiotechnology

       "The whole nature of the human psyche is based on producing things, doing something, making a contribution. What happens when you don't have to do that anymore? You would have the ultimate utopia where every so desire would be satisfied by molecular assembler. A molecular assembler will take ordinary raw materials breaks them up at the atomic level and joins the joints in specific ways to create specific substances."  (Michio Kaku)

near future. With these discoveries, nanotechnology will provide faster and more accurate diagnoses of diseases. In the future, nanotechnology may be used to build artificial muscles; and drugs will be targeted and delivered to only the cells that are damaged. “Lab on a chip” technology will diagnose diseases quickly allowing for quick and effective treatments. Nanocomputers and robots will be used to allow doctors to perform precise interventions at the cellular and molecular level.


     Nanotechnology has tremendous potential, but social issues, ethics, regulations; human safety must be addressed before nanotechnology takes over our society.
