Nanobiology combines the ideas and theories of nanoscience and the materials and tools of nanotechnology with those of biology at the nanoscale(10[ to the minus 9 power] meters) level. The ability to observe, analyze, understand, and eventually manipulate biological systems at the sub-cellular and even molecular scales holds great promise for various branches of biology(for example, biochemistry, molecular, sub-cellular and structural biologies) and opens the way for important scientific contributions ranging from the development of new bio-imaging devices and sensors to the synthesis and characterization of novel bionanomaterials to advances in the theory, modeling and simulation of diverse nanoscale biological and fundamental life processes. 6, record 1, English, - nanobiology

Domaine de la nanoscience qui s'intéresse à la biologie et plus spécifiquement au comportement d'éléments qui entrent dans la composition d'organismes vivants, dans le but de créer des matériaux ou des dispositifs dotés de propriétés novatrices. 3, record 1, French, - nanobiologie
Record number: 1, Textual support number: 1 CONT
La nanobiologie est une science visant à exploiter des principes biologiques à l'échelle nanométrique, notamment en créant des dispositifs liant la vie à une machine. On pourrait, par exemple, propulser un nanorobot à l'aide d'un flagelle ou d'une hélice alimentée avec de l'ATP [adénosine triphosphate], permettant la création de nanorobots pouvant se nourrir de l'environnement cellulaire. 4, record 1, French, - nanobiologie
