Imagine a world without cancer, a world without sickness and death. This dream is possible due to the amazing world of nanotechnology, better yet nanomedicine. The molecular level at which nanotechnology operates, gives it the possibility to repair or destroy cells and also replace them with living bio-machines. Nanotechnology will aid the medical world in doing tasks at the molecular level such as destroying cancerous cells and treating patients more accurately.

A definition from WhatIs.com states nanomedicine as the application of nanotechnology to the prevention and treatment of diseases in the human body. With nanotechnology's applications, the medical world will experience tremendous advances from curing diseased cells individually and repairing cells damaged by genetic deformities to...
