What are Nanomaterials and How Do They Interact with Biological Systems?
Nanomaterials are materials with structural components smaller than 100 nanometers. Due to their minute size, they have unique physical and chemical properties. When introduced into biological systems, these properties enable them to interact with biological molecules in ways that bulk materials cannot. For instance, nanoparticles can penetrate cell membranes, enabling targeted drug delivery and diagnostic applications. These interactions can be highly specific and can be engineered for precise applications in medicine and biotechnology.
