Overview

Nanotechnology is advancing at a fast pace with its ramifications felt in almost every field, ranging from materials science to food, forensic, agriculture, and life sciences, including biotechnology and medicine. Nanotechnology is already being harnessed to address many of the key problems in animal biotechnology. It is expected that next decade nanotechnology would have tremendous growth in the applications and product developments in the area of animal biotechnology (e.g. animal nutrition, health, disease diagnosis, and drug delivery). Nanotechnology provides the ability to manipulate the materials at atomic and molecular levels and also arrange atom-by-atom on a scale of ?1-100 nm to create, new materials and devices with fundamentally new functions and properties arising due to their small scale. These properties are significantly different than their bulk counterparts. Nanobiotechnology, on the other hand, is a recent field arouse due to the concourse of nanotechnology and biology where nanotechnology provides the tools and techniques to work from nanoscale principles to investigate, understand, and transform the biological systems. Deals the basics of nanotechnology, comprehensive information about the current state-of-the-art and future perspectives of nanotechnology in biosensors as well as the commercial aspects Recent perspectives and challenges of nanomedicine will be unique feature of this book Provides new insight into how nanomaterial's play role in curing various disease Includes the most recent diagnostic methods such as nanosensors
