Nanotechnology is the study, design, creation, synthesis, manipulation, and application of materials, devices, and systems at the nanometer scale. The term "nanotechnology" is now commonly used to refer to the creation of new objects with nanoscale dimensions between 1.0 and 100.0 nm

` Nanospheres
and nanocapsules,that can be either amorphous or crystalline are the most widely used nanoparticles. They are specially designed to adsorb or encapsulate a drug, thereby protecting it against chemical and enzymatic degradation. ` The drug is confined in a cavity lined by a polymer membrane in nanocapsules while, there is a matrix system wherein the drug is physically and uniformly

Drug delivery focuses on maximizing bioavailability at specific places in the body and for prolonged period of time.The ability to alter the pharmacokinetics and biodistribution of the drug in the body determines the strength of the drug. The advantage of nanoparticles over other conventional drug delivery systems lies in the size, when larger particles would have been cleared from the body; cells take up these nanoparticles because of their incredibly small size. For example, biodegradable nanoparticle drug delivery systems can be used for targeting drugs to the lungs, which has advantages such as avoidance of macrophage clearance and long resistance times.

Nanoparticles are promising tools for the advancement of drug delivery, medical imaging, and as diagnostic sensors.research in excretory systems of mice, shows the ability of gold composites to selectively target certain organs based on their size and charge. These composites are encapsulated by a dendrimer and assigned a specific charge and size. Positively-charged gold nanoparticles were found to enter the kidneys while negatively-charged gold nanoparticles remained in the liver .

Polyethylcyanoacrylate nanospheres as biodegradable polymeric carriers have been found good for oral insulin delivery in streptozotocininduced. Smartell technology may help diabetics to maintain their glucose levels without needing blood sample glucose monitoring and injecting insulin. The rise in blood glucose will result in breakage of protein matrix of SmartCell and subsequent release of insulin proportionate to blood glucose.

microscopic nano particles are attached to cancer cells and cooks' the tumors inside the body with the help of radio frequency waves that heats only the nanoparticle attached tumor cells, thereby causing no harm to the adjacent normal tissues. Sensor Test chips embedded with thousands of Nanowires, designed to detect proteins and other biomarkers left behind by cancer cells, could enable the detection and diagnosis of cancer in the initial stages from a few drops of a patient's blood
