1. Scale at which much biology occurs.
• Deoxyribinucleic acid is 2 nanometers in diameter.
• Hemoglobin transports oxygen is 5.5 nanometers/
diameter.
• Focus on advancing procedures, therapies, tools,
treatments.
• More accurate than all traditional methods
• Causes no adverse effects on body's health
• Bio-barcode essay, identifies disease in blood
2. Scale at which quantum effects dominate
properties of materials.
• Quantum effects direct behavior of particles

• Properties of materials highly depend on sizes.

• Nanoscale gold, colors yellow, red and purple.

• Nanoscale gold permit exact image of tumor

• Nanogold based cancer treatment burns cancer within

• Furthermore, no side effects on healthy cells.

3. Nanoscale materials have far larger surface
areas than similar masses of larger-scale
materials.
• • A solid cube of an object has 1 cm on each
side; it has 6 squared centimeters equals to 1
side of 1/2 of a stick of gum.
• • Ifa solid cubic centimeter is filled with
micrometer-sized cubes— a trillion (1012) of
them, each with a surface area of 6 square
micrometer—the total surface area amounts to
6 square meters about the area of the main
bathroom in an average house.
