The Nanotechnology Revolution in Healthcare

For scientists, nanotechnology has been a sector of research that has

run wild with ideas and imagination, with many sounding close to science
fiction. With promise of disease fighting, energy generating, or functionally
transforming applications, over $24 billion has been invested in the National
Nanotechnology Initiative since 2001. [1] With such promise on the horizon,
health-related nanotechnology research is satiated with funding, but few of
these advances are making it to market.
