Abstract
Nanobiotechnology is the application of nanosized materials in various operational fields of biotechnology. The study of nanotubes, nanoparticles, nanofibers, nanowires, and other such nanometre-ranging structures is called nanoscience. This one billionth fine of a unit possesses properties for applications in various fields like bioremediation, nano-therapy, drug delivery, and so on. This book chapter describes the concept, key prospects, and features of bio-nano-technology; the preparation, analysis, characterization, and application of nanomaterials for biological advancements. The major biological fields that benefit from nanotechnology have been briefly discussed.
