: A more "biological" approach where scientists build materials atom-by-atom through chemical reactions and self-assembly. This method produces high-purity nanostructures like DNA origami, which can fold into "barrels" to carry drug payloads. 2. Targeted Drug Delivery: The "Magic Bullet"
: This involves taking larger materials and "carving" them down using mechanical energy, lithography, or etching to reach precise dimensions. Nanotechnology in Biology and Medicine: Methods...
Creating medical tools smaller than a virus requires two primary engineering approaches: : A more "biological" approach where scientists build
