In this weeks material we learned about nanotech and art as it brigs a new world into our eyes, it goes beyond on what we believe art is today. It is on an uprising in the art culture as it brings you over the edge of what art actually is. Nanotechnology is “the branch of technology that deals with dimensions and tolerances of less than 100 nanometers, especially the manipulation of individual atoms and molecules.” Nanoparticles   Discussed in Dr. Gimzewski lecture, Nano particles are being used in applications for technology. Nanoparticles are being used in medicine for therapy to change people’s lives. These Nano particles are targeting certain tumors, drugs and it also offers great benefit for people that have cancer for their chemotherapy where they rejoice the toxicity for the treatment. For example, in 2005 Abraxane marketed cancer Nano drugs that consisted of chemotherapeutic with liposome or protein albumin. Nanotechnology and art have many ideas and poss...
