Two recent breakthroughs in nanotechnology illustrate the potential of miniaturization to transform the pharmaceutical industry. Researchers at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill are creating nano-sized particles without the use of harsh solvents or high temperatures. What this means is that organic ingredients can be included in the microscopic particles.This process opens the worlds door to marrying organic materials to nanotechnology, says head researcher Dr. Joseph M. DeSimone. Biology, after all, is almost exclusively organic materials.
