Development of Nano-Microtechnology for Biomedical andEngineering Applications

摘要

This lecture discusses the technological advancement in nanotechnology and microtechnology andsome aspects of applications in engineering devices and biotechnologies. The lecture outlines thelogical development of technology and engineering following (1) initiation of idea andvisualization, (2) ability to control and measurements and (3) intense effort in engineeringdevelopments. The talk includes a brief review of the historical development in biology, nano andmicrotechnology and potential applications of electro-magnetic phenomena from atomic-nano scaleto macro and global behavior. The talk also describes the activities in the Center for Nanomagneticsand Biotechnology for clinical applications using nanomagnetic particles. Several magneticphenomena in life sciences are illustrated. Brief discussions of nano materials are introduced. Thelecture then concludes with possible near term applications and long term developments ofnanotechnology in biomedical and bioengineering.
