The Physics we learned after studying and researching our topic was quantum physics. Quantum physics is the physical principle in which makes nanotechnology work. It studies physical activity at the molecular level.
2. How could this physical science be used in today's society?
There are many ways that nanotechnolgy can affect our society, such as extending battery life, developing new materials, and biolabels. In our group we studied the affects it has on the medical field. Scapels are able to be made sharper because the tips can be made as small as a few particles wide. Capsules can be made with biomarkers that use quantum physics prinicples to guide medication through the body faster and with more precision. Bandages can also be made with constructed DNA that is in constant contact with the skin, which allows the bandage to actively combat bacteria and reduce permanent scarring.
