Nanotechnology in food and medicine [electronic resource].

Includes references.

Nanotechnology (NT) science defined as the extension of existing sciences into dimensional realms much smaller than previously considered feasible. While, Oberdorster et al., (2005) declared that nanoscience and nanotechnology are the understanding and manipulation of materials at the atomic, molecular, and macromolecular scales. On another view, nanoscience involves research to discover new behaviors and properties of materials with dimensions at the nanoscale, which ranges roughly from 1 to 100 nanometers (nm), [1m=109nm, nm=10A°]. So, nanotechnology is the way discoveries made at the nanoscale will put to work. Review will touch the various uses, benefits and cautions of nanotechnology science.
