NanoTech+Art

The utilization and integration of nanotechnology into today's society has become increasingly crucial. Nanotechnology is the branch of technology that deals with the dimensions and tolerances of less than 100 nanometers, especially the manipulation of individual atoms and molecules. (Oxford) In regular terms, nanotechnology is the manipulations of atoms for example using microscopes to look at individual skin cells to see the difference in functioning and dead skin cells. (Curtis)

The introduction of nanotechnology into everyday life has led to huge medical advances in medicine. Along the lines of medically applicable nanotech, Boo Chapple has been researching the ability to create a speaker out of bones. (Chapple) Although this more towards the medical field, the audio that the speakers would create would be works of art.

The field of nanotechnology and its applications is so vast and broad, that virtually in tech involving manipulation of the slightest detail could fall under nanotech. An advance in nanotechnology that really catches my attention is the idea of nanorobotics. More specifically the application of nanotechnology in military applications. The idea of nanobots being injected into soldiers so it would give the soldiers the ability to treat themselves medically without having to see medical personnel. The application of nanotechnology is endless and incredibly intruiging.
