In this paper we are considering self-assembly approach from nanobiology to molecular nanotechnology. Because the genetic code, as a most complex biomolecular system, is determined by Golden mean, we used it knowledge to study approaches to nanotechnology. Understanding protein self-assembly driving force and structure of clathrin and microtubules based on Golden mean we have found that fullere...

Nanotechnology is one of the most active research areas that encompass a number of disciplines including civil engineering and construction materials. Traditionally, nanotechnology has been concerned with developments in the fields of microelectronics, medicine and materials sciences. However, the potential for application of many of the developments in the nanotechnology field in the area of c...

Biomedical nanotechnologies are currently being applied to Nanodiagnostics, and several of them are in different phases of development. This review describes biomedical nanotechnologies that have either been deployed or have potential commercial applications in clinical diagnostics. Nanodiagnostics refer to the use of biomedical nanotechnology in diagnostics, and biomedical nanotechnology is th...

For many decades, nanotechnology has been developed with cooperation from researchers in several fields of studies including physics, chemistry, biology, material science, engineering, and computer science. In this chapter, we explore the nanotechnology development community and identify the needs and opportunities of computer science research in nanotechnology. In particular we look at methods...

Nanotechnology is an interdisciplinary research field. In recent past efforts have been made to improve agricultural yield through exhaustive research in nanotechnology. The green revolution resulted in blind usage of pesticides and chemical fertilizers which caused loss of soil biodiversity and developed resistance against pathogens and pests as well. Nanoparticle-mediated material delivery to...

The ‘nanotechnology’ concept first captured the world’s attention when the Nobel Prize winner Richard Feynman advocated the possibility of widespread nanotechnology research by delivering his famous speech, “There’s Plenty of Room at the Bottom” just half a century ago. The emerging nanotechnology field comprises one of the fastestgrowing research and development (R&D) areas in the world (Natio...

This descriptive survey research was undertaken to study the factors affecting attitudes of agricultural faculty members towards nanotechnology. The statistical population of this study consisted of the agricultural faculty members in Iran (N=225). A sample of 144 persons was selected by using the stratified random sampling method. Data collected using a mailed questionnaire that was validated ...

For novel issues like food nanotechnology, media can play an important role in shaping the awareness and mental associations that underlie public opinion. Seeking to complement recent research exploring public opinion formation about food nanotechnology, this study tracks the evolution of U.S. newspaper coverage of food nanotechnology, identifying the descriptive and thematic traits that have c...
