Computers & Technology > Computers & Technology (Other) The current and future benefits of nanotechnology: 5 of 7

Nanotechnology is everywhere and is purported to be the next breakthrough for science when fully harnessed. One of the more interesting uses for nanotechnology has been found its combination with diamonds. A relatively new technique allows nanodiamonds to bond with the DNA or protein in a human cell. Of course, these diamonds are incredibly tiny, only around 35 nm; they are so tiny in fact that over 22 billion of them could fit in the period at the end of this sentence. Regardless of their size, when these nanodiamonds are introduced into a cell, they can be made to give off light. This li...
