Bio-Nanotechnology

At the nanometric level the  properties of matter change: the more an object decreases in size the more its volume/surface ratio increases, as a result atoms close to the surface are much more reactive than inner ones. "Nanoscience" studies these novel properties and nanomedicine exploits the acquired knowledge to improve existing materials, techniques and products, or to create new ones basing on the novel features (e.g. nanosensors for diagnostics).
