The reading for this week is an example of the use of nanotechnology in agriculture. For this week the focus of your discussion will be a little broader and be based on the emerging use of nanotechnology in general (not just for agriculture). For this discussion, please read the following paper by Guilger et al

Preview the document
and use the following questions to start your discussion on nanotechnology:

1. What are nanoparticles and what was the main purpose of using nanoparticles in this study?

2. There are various types of nano-materials, discuss what are some of the different types of nano-materials that have been used or are being developed. How do these nano-materials differ from each other? What are some properties of specific types of nano-materials that make them useful for applications in the biological sciences?

3. Discuss some of the recent biological applications of nanotechnology and compare and contrast those uses to the applications described in the paper for this week.

Remember this is a discussion, these questions are to get you started on discussing the paper. Do not limit your discussion to only answering the above questions - you can also raise your own questions, delve deeper into the topics raised by others, explore other aspects of the topic, branch out to related and relevant topics and themes, share and discuss related studies etc.
