Introduction
 Topic Title
Nanotechnology in Medicine.Josue
Nanomedicine refers to the area of science that combines
nanotechnology with drugs or diagnostic molecules to improve
the ability to target specific cells or tissues. These materials are
produced on a nanoscale level and are safe to introduce into the
body. Applications for nanotechnology in medicine include
imaging, diagnosis, or the delivery of drugs that will help medical
professionals treat various diseases.
Listed below are the key technology and scientific trends
impacting the nanotechnology industry, as identified by
GlobalData.
Target specification
Improving the ability of nanotechnologies to target specific cells
or tissues is of great interest to companies producing
nanomedicines. This area of research involves attaching
nanoparticles onto drugs or liposomes to increase specific
localisation. Since different cell types have unique properties,
nanotechnology can be used to “recognise” cells of interest. This
allows associated drugs and therapeutics to reach diseased
tissue while avoiding healthy cells. While this is a promising area
of research, very few nanomedicines exist that successfully
utilise nanotechnology in this manner. This is due to ill-defined
parameters associated with pairing the correct ratio or
combination of nanoparticles with the drug of interest.

How Small Is “Nano”?.Lucas Ortiz

Nanotechnology deals with the very smallest components of our
world – atoms and molecules. Trying to understand just how
small the nanoscale is can be very difficult for people. A
nanometer is a unit of measurement for length just as you have
with meters and centimeters. A nanometer is one billionth of a
meter, 0.000000001 or 10-9 meters. The word nano comes from
the Greek word for “dwarf.” The term nanoscale is used to refer
to objects with dimensions on the order of 1-100 nanometers
(nm).
To understand how small a nanometer is, we typically compare
the nanoscale to objects that we know how big or small they
are. Here are some examples:
 a human hair is about 60,000 – 100,000 nm wide
 a fingernail grows 1 nm per second
 a DNA molecule is ~2.5 nm in width
 a 2 meter person is 6 feet 6 inches tall or 2 billion
nanometers

What Is So Special about “Nano”?.Lucas Ortiz
Nanotechnology is not simply working at ever-smaller
dimensions; rather, working at the nanoscale enables scientists
to understand and utilize the unique physical, chemical,
mechanical, and optical properties of materials that occur at this
scale. Nanoparticles are so small that they can move and do
things in ways we do not yet understand. One example would be
that nanoparticles can be absorbed through the skin. In the
environment, nanoparticles could be absorbed by insects or fish
at the bottom of the food chain of large animals, including us.

Everyday products that use nanotechnology.Jose
Escalada
Nanotechnology may seem like something out of the future, but
in fact, many everyday products are already made using
nanotechnology.
1. Sunscreen
Nanoparticles have been added to sunscreens for years to make
them more effective.
2. Clothing
When used in textiles, nanoparticles of silica can help to create
fabrics that repel water and other liquids.
3. Furniture
In the same way that clothing can be made waterproof and
stainproof through nanotechnology, so too can upholstered
furniture.
4. Adhesives
Nanotechnology can also be used to optimize adhesives.
5. Coatings for car paintwork
We all know bird droppings can wreak havoc on car paintwork.
To combat this, a company called Nanorepel has produced a
high-performance nanocoating that can be used to protect your
car’s paintwork from bird poop.
6. Tennis balls
Nanotechnology has found a range of applications in the world of
sports equipment.
7. Computers
Without nanotechnology, we wouldn't have many of the
electronics we use in everyday life.
Nanotechnology applications in food.Pedro Villanueva
Nanotechnology has the potential of application in the food
industry and processing as new tools for pathogen detection,
disease treatment delivery systems, food packaging, and delivery
of bioactive compounds to target sites. The application of
nanotechnology in food systems will provide new methods to
improve safety and the nutritional value of food products.
 Conclusion
Therefore, it is important to say that the advancement of technology has
created a new way of developing the areas of people's lives. Included in
this perspective are video games, which have come to change
entertainment activities as well as teaching and rehabilitation.
These changes can have advantages and disadvantages, so it is necessary
to see video games as a tool that needs adaptations, but that can also
improve work in different areas. Similarly, checks and balances in their use
are vital. Children should always be supervised by an adult. In this way,
they can be controlled and avoid major consequences.
