Currently nanotechnology is being used in in surface cleaners, clothes, cosmetics, and sunscreen. It also uses in medical research for cancer and other medical ailments. Now we must understand that nanotechnology is changing every day and research is showing that new and better things will come. The future of nanotechnology has two basic concept that is currently in effect. The first one is hypothetical and is way off in the distance future. This concept is the nanorobots. Yes, it does sound like something in a movie but researcher is hoping for this to be a reality. They include the theory that the nanorobot will start “molecular manufacturing and medical robots that can steer automatic through your blood”, (www.futureforall.org). The other concept is that is used for treatment is the medical field is currently “awaiting human trails for the Nanoshells, to help cancer, and the liposomes, as a vaccine adjuvants and a vehicle for drug transport”, (www.futureforall.org). Nanotechnology also play out in “electronics making materials graphene and quantum dots us for computer and communication devices”, …show more content…
First, it will have problems for the environment, the grey-goo is a fantasy however toxin and pollutants becomes a reality. Next, it will have economic problems because the product will either be expensive or obsolete. Finally, privacy will become an issue with problems with detection and devices to harm. Nanotechnology has been a revolution for centuries and now the future is endless. This is not a science fiction movie but reality for the future. The concept is going to endless of innovation that either is going to help us or destroy us. Nanotechnology is what our society are depending to strive for. The future of nanotechnology will become rich and many counties will benefit from the technology on greater scales and magnitude. We will make the hypothetical reality in nanotechnology and the constant changes will keep up with the business and economics concepts. We will hope that this technology will be used for good and not for bad intention. We will acknowledge that the future of nanotechnology will be one for the next generation to benefit from. We will make nanotechnology more about serving our society and changing the future for the better through research. Nanotechnology is not fiction in our society. It is a reality that has many avenues to cross for bigger and better things that will help the world. This is how nanotechnology will affect the future. Nanotechnology is our

In the article “Pinpointing Cancer Fight,” Liz Szabo states the uses of nanotechnology and how researchers are attempting to use this advancement to fight cancer. She defines that nanotechnology is a type of technology that creates devices on an atomic level; this equipment can allow people such as researchers to use its ability to detect cancerous cells as well as treat them. Szabo remains a neutral tone as she states that while some are against the idea of using nanotechnology since there are many risks, others are optimistic that it may lead to transformational results. She presents a list of some products developed through nanotechnology and explains its usage in addition to mentioning the failure of those nanotech products. Szabo provides
It is clear that nanotechnology has the potential to revolutionize health care and even transport
It concerns all specialties of medecine, from pathology and oncology to cosmetic and reconstructive surgery.Currently, nanomedicine applications have been approved and are currently used for diagnostic procedures, body and organ imaging, surgical tools, drug delivery systems and gene therapies.

We also have learned that although nanotechnology has been around for a decade, there is still a long way to go to perfect this technology. Biomedical scientists and Nano-engineers have to work together so that all the nanobot promises are met safely and effectively. Our group is excited to see this technology continue to evolve. We are even more excited to finally see nanotechnology being used in the human body.
In the novel, Prey, written by Michael Crichton it pertains to the subject of nanotechnology throughout the whole entire book. The main characters of this novel are the
Nanotechnology, shortened to "nanotech", is the study of the control of matter on an atomic and molecular scale. Nano science and nanotechnology are recent, revolutionary development in Science and Engineering that are evolving at a very fast pace.[1,2] It is driven by the desire to fabricate materials with novel and improved properties that is likely to impact virtually all areas of the physical and chemical sciences, biological sciences and health sciences. The word ‘nano’ derives from the Greek word ‘nanos’, which means dwarf or extremely small and mathematically, a nanometer is a billionth of a meter or 10-9 m. Particles whose sizes fall in the size range of 1-100 nm is called a nano particles, whether it is dispersed in gaseous, liquid or solid medium. Generally nanotechnology deals with structures of the size 100 nanometers or smaller, and involves developing materials or devices within that size. Nanotechnology is very diverse, ranging from extensions of conventional device physics, to completely new approaches based upon molecular self-assembly, to developing new materials wi...
Topic: Nanotechnology Specific purpose: To inform my audience on what is nanotechnology and how advantageous it can/has been for us in the near future. Thesis Statement: I would like to inform you on what nanotechnology is, what it has done/can (do) for us in the long run, and an example or a new discovery in nanotechnology to help you get a better understanding of what it is. Introduction: I. Has anyone ever read the Ironman comics? II. In the extremis comics, Tony Stark injects himself with what it has been told to be nanotechnology; he injects it into his bloodstream so that he could control the suits that he uses later on, by a mere movement of his body.
So what is nanotechnology actually doing in the world outside of fiction? Developments at the nanoscale are revolutionising many spheres of science and technology in a variety of ways.
I don't know what the future holds but I know who holds the future. Days go by and how time flies, seasons always changing. When we contemplate the future we envision mind-warping technology and global warming destroying the Earth. Change is inevitable but it's up to our supremacy what we and our planet Earth change into. Will we help or hinder our future survival? One sentence from America's Declaration of Independence has some relevance to this matter. 'But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object, evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security'. In other words if something is wrong, those that have the ability to take action, have the responsibility to take action.
Nanotechnology is science, technology and engineering that is conducted at the nanoscale. The nanoscale is about 1 to 100 nanometres.
Nanotechnology and Its Purpose The US Government’s National Nanotechnology Initiative defines nanotechnology as “the understanding and control of matter at dimensions of roughly 1 to 100 nanometres, where unique phenomena enable novel applications.” A nanometre is a millionth of a millimetre - to bring that scale into context, a nanometre is the amount a man's beard grows in the time it takes him to raise the razor to his face. Nanotechnology refers to a field of applied science and technology whose theme is the control of matter on the atomic and molecular scale, generally 100 nanometres or smaller, and the fabrication of devices or materials that lie within that size range. An estimated global research and development investment of nearly $9 billion per year is anticipated to lead to new medical treatments and tools; more efficient energy production, storage and transmission; better access to clean water; more effective pollution reduction and prevention; and stronger, lighter materials.
Nanotechnology should be embraced because experts have noted that the technology will have a positive impact on every sector of the economy. For example, nanotechnology will have a significant impact on medicine, reduce energy consumption, and replace the silicon-based technology used in computing and electronics (Hunt and Mehta 10). Experts have noted that research in nanotechnology will have to go on because of its positive impact on the economy. For instance, experts have noted that nanotechnology will generate 2.6 trillion dollars by the end of 2014. The benefits of nanotechnology are already being realized. Nanotechnology is revolutionizing consumer products (Hunt and Mehta 11).
Nanotechnology in essence is not futuristic in nature. Scientists refer to a timeline of the development of nanotechnology. The first wave of nanoparticles would perform one function only. The nanoparticles of the second wave would be able to execute multiple functions. The third wave would be proliferation. Nanotechnology is already applied and used today in cosmetics (sunscreen), coatings (non-scratch surfaces), and to make stronger tools. Short-term applications will most likely include such things as paints. Paints created with nanotechnology could have various properties for multiple applications, e.g. reducing solvent need in paint and thereby making it more environmentally friendly, making paint thinner, which could be used on aircraft. It would reduc...
