I’m wondering, for example, you take medicine for a painful kidney (this is just for instance). How does the medicine know exactly where to go? Let’s take this a step further and pretend we are dealing with nanotechnology. How would the nanos (basically, really small particles) know where to deposit the drugs to the kidney? Is there some sort of chemical reaction going on, and if so, how and what? Thanks, and please tell me the source.

I’ve been wondering what nanotechnology is, what it does, and what it accomplishes. The only displays of nanotech that I have seen have been in comic books and sci-fi movies/tv shows. Does it really form on it’s own to make weapons and other appliances? Can it respond on its own or does someone need to control it? What can it do and accomplish? Is it stable or not? Has the technology been approved by the government and/or perfected?

vitrohype asked:

Nanotechnology, sometimes shortened to nanotech, refers to a field of applied science whose theme is the control of matter on an atomic and molecular scale. Generally nanotechnology deals with structures 100 nanometers or smaller, and involves developing materials or devices within that size. Nanotechnology is an extremely diverse and multidisciplinary field, ranging from novel extensions of conventional device physics, to completely new approaches based upon molecular self-assembly, …
