Nanotechnology is shaping the world atom by atom.Yet, this futuristic technology is not in the awareness of people of all kinds.This article serves to give general information about Nanotechnology, its application in medicine and its toxicological issues.Nanoparticles are smaller particles of -9 size around one billionth of a meter (10 meter) and Nanotechnology is the study of matter around this size scale.To put this size in perspective, a sheet of paper is about 100,000 nanometres (nm) thick, the flu virus is roughly 2000 nm and mycoplasma is 200 nm in size.Or, to look at it another th th way, 1 nanometre is approximately 1/800 of a human hair or 1/70 the diameter of a red blood cell.The approaches to nanomedicine range from the medical use of nanomaterials, to nanoelectronic biosensors, and even possible future applications of molecular nanotechnology.Current problems for nanomedicine involve understanding the issues related to toxicity and environmental impact of nanoscale materials.
