Nanodevices in Biomedical Applications

In the early 21st century, nanotechnology is a field in rapid flux and development, and definition of its boundaries can be elusive. Aspects of multiple disciplines, ranging from physics to computer science to biotechnology, legitimately contribute to the endeavor. This breadth of field allows many interested parties to contribute to nanotechnology, but the same ambiguity can effectively render the field indistinct. The precise definition of nanotechnology remains debatable, so consideration of the present scope of the field may be useful.
