Pharmaceuticals and Nanotechnology
It should come as no surprise that nanotechnology plays a huge role in today’s pharmaceutical industry. Nanotechnology influences the extraction process, drug processing, drug purification methods, drug packaging, and drug manufacturing. Presently, a large focus is being placed on using nanotechnology to create diagnostic tools and drug delivery systems that target specific molecules, cells, and internal organs for more direct, powerful treatments. Pharmaceuticals are looking to harness nanotechnology to improve drug delivery techniques and to help in treating terminal illnesses and chronic diseases with more precision. |

Nanotechnology Cleaning
Nanotechnology is science on a very tiny level—it examines the atoms and molecules of different substances to see how they affect each other. Recently, this research has been put to impressive use. Nanotechnologists are now saying that they have produced “self-cleaning” products that, when applied to typical household surfaces, simply make the dirt disappear. |

Nanotech Researchers Eye Nature Replicating Nanocoatings for Use in Solar Cells The nanotech research department at the Savannah River Site is presently using nanotechnology to make power generated through solar means a more accessible energy. A new nanotechnology-based project being headed up at the Savannah River National Laboratory will begin to observe how unique coatings found in nature have the potential of increasing the utility of solar generated energy as an integral part of the US energy plan for the future.

Nanotechnology and Applications of the Field
Believe it or not, some of the very first commercialized endeavors that have relied on the utilization of nanoparticles and nanotechnology include industries that create cosmetics and textiles. Textiles have been treated with materials generated via nanotechnology that enhance the textile by making the textile longer lasting with color fast properties. The field of nanotechnology can also be applied to things like mobile phones, computers, medical devices, and energy efficiency projects. |

It's tough to make big bucks with tiny technology
Three firms have licensed nanotechnology from the U of M - with varying results. But the long-term potential remains promising.
If Minnesota is ever to embrace nanotechnology, the state's top research university would seem like a good place to start.

Therapeutic Drug Discovery Revolutionized by Nanotechnology A novel method for the stabilization of protein has been created by nanotech researchers in a project supported by the Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council (BBSRC). This stabilization process might lend to thirty percent more proteins being made accessible as a possible target for drug development. The latter discovery proves promising and may lead to new discoveries for life-saving drugs.
