Nanotechnology involves the manipulation of matter on an atomic, molecular, and supramolecular scale, typically below 100 nanometers. In the context of mitosis, nanotechnology can be used to study and manipulate cellular processes at a molecular level. For instance, nanoparticles and nanodevices can be engineered to interact with specific components of the mitotic machinery, enabling researchers to understand and control the intricacies of cell division.
