Nanotechnology

Nanotechnology. What exactly is it? From the book Nanotechnology for Dummies by Richard Booker and Earl Boysen and my research, nanotechnology is defined as an "interdisciplinary field" that deals with the control of subject matter on a molecular and/or atomic level. The field of nanotechnology is also a field that changes and brings opportunities to different aspects of human life. Examples include advances in the areas of security, health care, technology, and many other fields and/or aspects. Nanotechnology helps to effectively pinpoint tumor(s) in a cancer patient and heat the tumor(s) until it is eliminated. Nanotechnology also helps to create security devices that are sufficient but in small and compact sizes which creates easier and faster transportation. Although nanotechnology is an advanced/advancing field of study, the major implications of nanotechnology will set in within years and/or decades of research.
