	Designing Nanostructures \| A Tutorial
		Bionanotechnology operates at the smallest level, with machines in the range of 10 nanometers in dimension.
		Nanotechnology and bionanotechnology are entirely new concepts, invented late in the twentieth century, and biotechnology has only been around for a few decades, so the scope of these fields is still being defined.
		Bionanotechnology is a subset of nanotechnology: atom-level engineering and manufacturing using biological precedents for guidance.

	BioNanotechnology - Oxford IRC
		Bionanotechnology is a highly interdisciplinary field, resulting from the convergence of the physical, life and medical sciences and engineering.
		The IRC is investigating biomolecular systems from the level of single molecules up to complex molecular machines by integrating "top-down" nanoscale lithography with "bottom-up" biomolecular assembly.
		The collaborative programme of the IRC is under the directorship of Professor John Ryan from the University of Oxford and involves researchers from

		Much of her research is within the realm of bionanotechnology, using nanomaterials for diagnostic or therapeutic applications.
		Students will be engaged in interdisciplinary research early on, paired with graduate students conducting research in bionanotechnology for hands-on exposure to the research environment, and will also attend lectures and field trips.
		The course will be taught using numerous technology case studies to provide examples of bionanotechnology and help these students understand how concepts in their field of study can be applied within the biological sciences.

	UF scientists have bionanotechnology recipe to find elusive bacteria
		"Our focus is the development of a bionanotechnology that combines the strengths of nanotechnology and biochemistry to generate a new type of 'bionanomaterial,' which has some unique properties," said Weihong Tan, a UF Research Foundation professor of chemistry and associate director of UF's Center for Research at the Bio/Nano Interface.
		Bionanotechnology is a new frontier of research that combines two seemingly incompatible materials — the building blocks of life and synthetic structures — at a tiny, molecular-sized scale.
		Nanotechnology works with objects that are on the order of 1 to 100 nanometers; a nanometer is one-billionth of a meter, about the size of several atoms.

	Bionanotechnology - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		It encompasses the study, creation, and illumination of the connections between structural molecular biology and molecular nanotechnology, since the development of nano-machinery might be guided by studying the structure and function of the natural nano-machines found in living cells.
		Bionanotechnology seeks to modify and find technological uses of natural nano-components like the nano-motors of ATP synthase and things like using the scaffold of the enzyme complex of cellulosomes for adding new enzymes to make "nanosomes".
		In 1965, Gordon Moore, one of the founders of Intel Corporation, made the astounding prediction that the number of transistors that could be fit in a given area would double every 18 months for the next ten years.
