Document Summary

One might be truly mesmerized about how science and technology have developed by leaps and bounds. Who would have thought that scientists of today can perform intervention at the microscopic level which might be just a product of imagination ages ago. Truly revolutionary, scientists are now possessing the technology to improve human lives, invisible it may seem to the naked eye. As human technology progress, the ability to see and find the unknown has become more possible. Unbeknownst to many, technological advances are not only capable to explore the biggest objects, but the smallest particles as well. In this last module, you will deal with nanotechnology. The scope of the discussion shall include nanotechnology"s definition and dimension, its application, its challenges, and the ethical dilemmas involved. Scientific researchers have developed new technological tools that greatly improve different aspects of our lives. The use of nanoscale is one important interdisciplinary area generated by advancement in science and technology.
