The way I was first introduced to learn about Bio-Nanotechnology was by reading a Michael Crichton book titled “Prey” the book in a very small nutshell is a worst case scenario in which the technological advancements made in Bio-Nanotechnology end up becoming able to disobey our commands and ends up even killing some of the characters. Even though this book is far fetched it got me intrigued about Bio-Nanotechnology and its many possible uses, As of now there is no definition or brief summary of what Bio-nanotechnology is so the best way to explain what this research topic is about, is that before nanotechnology had the term Bio placed in front of it all it meant was that if you were a major in nanotechnology you were able to create for instance a computer chip the size of 10 NM (or ten nanometers), and at the same time there were scientists looking into things such as genetically engineering crops this fell into the category of Biotechnology which is technology on a biological scale. Well, given that nanotechnology allows one to pinpoint things as small as cells in eventually got into the Biotechnology category as well but since nanotechnology is at a cellular level it allows tasks such as genetically engineering crops not as difficult and actually allows for much more room for improvement on allowing more production on the crop. So since nanotechnology can be used for practically anything regarding Biotechnology it got sort of renamed as bio-nanotechnology since now even things that were just Biotechnology now include nanotechnology as w ell, for example approximately seventy six percent of American
