Earlier today, on my other website, I explained how nanotechnology-enhanced clothing might help fight infectious disease. No sooner had I finished that article than I came across this article explaining how next-generation nano-sensors will help diagnose infectious disease even quicker. The combination of the two technologies won’t eliminate infectious disease, but they should allow hospitals and disease-control specialists to minimize the damage that increasingly drug-resistant germs (as well as other harmful biological agents) can cause.
