Nanobiotechnology

Nanobiotechnology is a discipline in which nanotechnology tools are developed and applied to study biological processes and other phenomena.  Applications of bionanotechnology are extensive. Bionanotechnology, promises to reinvent biological mechanisms and pathways in a manner that is useful in other ways. As far as the distinction holds, nanobiotechnology is much more commonplace for the fact that it simply provides more tools for the study of biology. Nanobiotechnology is relatively new to the industry, medicine and the consumer. Nanobiotechnology relies on a vast array of research methods, including experimental tools e.g. imaging, characterization via AFM/optical tweezers etc., x-ray diffraction based tools, synthesis via self-assembly, characterization of self-assembly (using e.g. dual polarization interferometry, recombinant DNA methods, etc.), theory (e.g. statistical mechanics, nanomechanics, etc.), as well as computational approaches (bottom-up multi-scale simulation, supercomputing).
