Abstract

Exploring Nanotechnology http://nano.cancer.gov/resource_center/exploring.asp is a subsection of the National Cancer Institute website. It is a gentle educational experience that provides background information and explanations of current nanotechnology. It uses animated cartoons and a video presentation to explain its enthusiastic claim that “In the fight against cancer, nanotechnology introduces unique approaches to diagnosis and treatment that could not even be imagined with conventional technology.” Under the “Resources” tab there is a neat nanotechnology bibliography for more in-depth exploration of this fascinating field, along with a useful glossary.
