Nanobiotechnology is an emerging area of scientific and technological opportunity. The terms ‘‘Nanobiotechnology’’ and ‘‘Bionanotechnology,’’ used interchangeably, apply the tools and processes of nano/microfabrication to build devices for studying or manipulating biosystems. The field is progressing incredibly fast worldwide. Global attention to this emerging field was triggered by an epoch making talk delivered by the 1965 Physics Nobel laureate, Robert Feynman entitled, There is plenty of room at the bottom on December 29, 1959 at the annual meeting of the American Physical Society at the California Institute of Technology (Caltech), followed by a series of articles and books by K.
