Week 8: NanoTech and Art

Week 8: NanoTech and Art

Nanotechnology on a blood cell 


Nanotechnology is a complex yet very exciting
field. Through this form of technology, scientist
are able to insanely small amounts of chemical 
vapor which includes being able to detect nano-
particles and nano-materials. Thus meaning that 
we are able to manipulate particles in the world,
possibly  making a small change here or there 
creating new forms of certain particle values. 

Nanotechnology has never been a topic that I have been interested in. I believe that it is to complex
and complicated. Nanotechnology is one of there areas of science that makes my head spin. However,
after researching, I have realized that nanotechnology is used in many different areas of science. For
example, nanotechnology is used in the medicine to help find damaged cells or signs of early cell
disease. The medical field is recently been leaning towards nanotechnology to help identify early 
cases of disease. Using this form of technology is able to help diseases before that start.
Nanotechnology is also used within foods to mutate certain food groups. Mutating foods is almost 
like edited the flavor or making it seedless or anything else of that nature. Using these changes are

small but still have a huge affect to make the food
more nutritious, healthier and protected. 
 Nanotechnology helps the world in all aspects, 
through the environment, technology and medicine 
to create a better world. 

Through this weeks readings, nanotechnology and 
art are used for more than a visible inspiration.
They are also used to introduce the dynamic
This week I attended a workshop which involved the
 importance of nanotechnology. The art piece 
that I observed.

 Most recently, the use of nanotechnology has been for the horrible drug, cancer. The treatment that 
the majority of cancer patients are being saved by the process of nano therapy. Nano-therapy is 
a process in which the cancer patient can be relieved of strain from chemo therapy. This treatment is 
almost a way in which recovers and repairs the damage that other treatments do. 

 The cells are penetrated on a nano scale and then are implanted in the blood cell to bring oxygen
therefore the cells will have better circulations through the body allowing more blood to enter blood
vessels and create a better opportunity for patients to recover from chemotherapy

Shown here is a picture of cancer cells being
attacked by nano cells. The cancer cells are
the blue cells while the red is the antibody
of the nano cells and the green is the core
of the nano cell. The colors red and green
are working together to attack the cancer
cells and remove them. This is what happens 
within the body when a cancer patient is 
being treated with nano particles.

    Hi Veronica! I think your blog this week was one of your best so far! I agree that this topic is not one I was interested either, but this class has opened up my eyes to! I also think that it's awesome you went to an event surronding it, and I am looking forward to reading that blog post too! I think you did a great job of explaining the concept with it being so complex, even at its basis.

    I love how you discussed all the ways in which nanotechnology is used in science and then related them back to art!

Week 4 :Medicine/Technology/Art

Week 4 :Medicine/Technology/Art I have a strong connection with the medicine and technology. As I want to become a Doctor, I am rather interested with anything medical. I have had three surgeries in the past that have made me very interested in the field itself. I am truly mesmerized with the idea of using technology with in the medical field. By using different technology, the field is able to advance in ways that are amazing. The amount of research that goes into the form of medicine is insane. I believe the medical is its own art form. For me personally, I have experienced this art form first hand. When is was younger I under went a reconstructive knee surgery. Within this surgery, they had to use a cadaver to create a new ligament. The thought of having to be so meticulous and precise excites me. When Doctor is preforming surgery on a person, it's like they are recreating or creating a new part of the body. The body itself is an art piece, therefore when doctors must r...

Week 6: Bio Tech and Art

Week 6: Bio Tech and Art  Many of our foods today are extremely tasty and are visual pleasing, however there is a system in which creates and maintains these interesting looking foods. For example, Bananas are one of the most publicly known fruits. This fruit is used in a million different ways and for many different meals and snacks. In my personally experience I really enjoy bananas with almond butter or peanut butter with honey on top of a rice cake or toast. I think this is an amazing breakfast of snack, yet there is more to a banana then meets the eye. A banana is a genetically modified fruit, meaning it has been tampered with in order to ensure its values. Have you ever notices a banana with a seed? No, because they have been genetically modified to be represented without them. Within the United States, bananas are one of the many fruits that have been mutated to recreated. Due to the ability of the advanced technology in biology we are able to make these miner and dras...

Week 1: Two Cultures VeeronicaTDESMA9

Week 1: Two Cultures These article are all about culture and how they shape our thoughts.  (The combining of cultures) Within "Toward a Third Culture: Being In Between," Vesna explains the views of two cultures. Vesna goes into detail of how thinking in different ways becomes our culture. Later Vesna explains how we are able to slowly emerge into a new culture by thinking in different or unlikely ways. For example, we are already divided into different cultures when we think. Given that our society has been sculpted into believing that there are two different ways, science and history. North vs. South Campus  This sort if division is see all over the word, yet, it is also closer to us then we believe. With UCLA we accept this difference in culture. When meeting someone new, we often ask, "Are you North or South Campus?" This is a prime example of the division. We have to choose what culture we would like to be apart of. Knowing a person that is...
