This post will deal with the issue of nanotechnology. A highly innovative concept for society. Although only a decade ago that started the "global launch" of this new scientific field, there are now about 3 thousand products created Thanks to nanotechnology, mostly for the industrial sector, but are the most advanced research in the field of medicine and biology.
In the network we can find many definitions of nanotechnology, and all I've read this is the best I understood:
Nanotechnology is the study, design, creation, synthesis, manipulation and application of materials , functional devices and systems through control of matter at the nano scale, and the exploitation of phenomena and properties of matter at the nano scale. When handling the matter so minuscule scale of atoms and molecules shows entirely new phenomena and properties. Therefore, scientists use nanotechnology to create materials, devices and innovative and inexpensive systems with unique properties.
The first person who talked about the concept of nanotechnology was Feynman, in his lecture delivered in 1959, There is much room down there . Where was already talking about new discoveries if you could make materials of atomic or molecular dimensions. Would later be analyzed in detail by Drexler in Nanosystems .
What is important about this new concept is what is potentially within the research and applications current aim is to create new structures and products that have an impact in industry, medicine and many other sectors of an economy. Some of the advances that are occurring today are:
COMBAT CLOTHING TOXINS
Specialists are applying nanotechnology to the development of clothing that are very beneficial for the development of some positions work. Since they have protective capabilities.
METHODS FOR DETECTING CANCER
From my point of view this fact derived from the innovations in nanotechnology is especially relevant as emfermedad cancer is a death caused by a large number of people and is sometimes due to their late detectación.
NEUROSCIENCE
Thanks to nanotechnology have been built instruments to reach the skull of a patient in an operation without damage to other healthy tissues.
EU NANOTECHNOLOGY PROJECTS FINANCED
Currently due to the great importance of nanotechnology is reaching for countries joining the EU wants to develop it. In fact being funded projects carried out in Edinburgh. Projects to be emfermedades as they can fight AIDS, diabetes ...
computer advances
Also in the field of computing innovations are taking place. Recently there has been a microchip that has a large memory capacity.
HURRICANE KATRINA
Nanotechnology has reached even to the point of developing solutions that will contribute positively to the cleanup and recovery from disasters that have occurred due to Hurricane Katrina.
SPORTS.
In the world of sports produces these innovations, and it has developed a golf ball that will eliminate the movement of the ball which could hinder the golf championships.
But nanotechnology also has a number of risks and measures tells Treder, executive director of the Center for Responsible Nanotechnology in his visit to the headquarters of Euroresidentes. According to him, the main risk associated with nanotechnology is its potential for use in the construction of a new generation of weapons. These new weapons built with molecular nanotechnology will allow a very rapid development and improvement of armas.Según Mike Treder, a nanotechnology arms race could be impossible to control and would be much more dangerous . The countries would be more vulnerable to such attacks. Today
believe that countries have a challenge it is to learn and become familiar with the concept of nanotechnology. Since it is a concept which is being discussed more and which is bearing fruit very important for developing economies. But I think we still do not know all fields and applications. It is important that countries be aware of nanotechnology because when you get offered a multitude of advantages and benefits that may operate efficiently if known in advance this concept and are prepared to work with it. 
here made it easier for all people who have read my post, and have more curiosity about the latest developments in nanotechnology as well as the universities where they are carried out, the link with the address where you can get more information .
