Abstract :
In this paper, the author discussed the possibilities and the advantages of natural nanotechnology over synthethic materials. Proteins for example, as nature´s nanomachines is easily accessible and does not require fabrication. nanotechnology is set to open up numerous doors for the future, some of which we will likely not even be able to foresee today. As we begin to venture forth into this new nanoscale world, however, perhaps we should also take the time to appreciate and study the diversity of the nanotechnologies that already exist within and all around us.
