Bionanotechnology is the intersection of biology and nanotechnology. Bionanotechnology is a broad and somewhat vague term ... which usually refers, more specifically, to the use of nanotechnological devices for applications in biotechnology. Bionanotechnology may also refer to the use of biomolecules for applications in nanotechnology. A major example of this is DNA [deoxyribonucleic acid] nanotechnology, which uses self-assembling nucleic acid structures to control matter at the nanoscale. 5, record 1, English, - nanobiotechnology
