The nanotechnology revolution that will transform human health & longevity Nano Comes to Life opens a window onto the nanoscale-the infinitesimal realm of proteins & DNA where physics & cellular & molecular biology meet-and introduces readers to the rapidly evolving nanotechnologies that are allowing us to manipulate the very building blocks of life. Sonia Contera gives an insider's perspective on this new frontier, revealing how nanotechnology enables a new kind of multidisciplinary science that is poised to give us control over our own biology, our health, & our lives. Drawing on her perspective as one of today's leading researchers in the field, Contera describes the exciting ways in which nanotechnology makes it possible to underst&, interact with, & manipulate biology-such as by designing & building artificial structures & even machines at the nanoscale using DNA, proteins, & other biological molecules as materials. In turn, nanotechnology is revolutionizing medicine in ways that will have profound effects on our health & longevity, from nanoscale machines that can target individual cancer cells & deliver drugs more effectively, to nanoantibiotics that can fight resistant bacteria, to the engineering of tissues & organs for research, drug discovery, & transplantation. The future will bring about the continued fusion of nanotechnology with biology, physics, medicine, & cutting-edge fields like robotics & artificial intelligence, ushering us into a new "transmaterial era." As we contemplate the power, advantages, & risks of accessing & manipulating our own biology, Contera offers insight & hope that we may all share in the benefits of this revolutionary research. ...
