![]() Nanotechnology in Medicine Nanotechnology has massive potential to revolutionise modern medicine and nano innovations already have a place in everyday surgery. For example, broken bones are pinned together using screws coated with a layer of diamond nano-crystals 1,000th of a mm thick. As diamond is organic (pure carbon) the body will not reject the material. There are some concerns for the unforseen consequences of nano-materials in the human body, and the term "nanoid shock" has been coined to describe the theoretical situation where the human body rejects nano-materials or actors.
