The video provides clear and vast information on what nanotechnology is, its uses, and its techniques. In the beginning, the speaker gives an interesting fact: the difference of DNA in nanometers to humans is about the same as comparing humans to the sun's circumference. Later, it is brought up that nanotechnology is used in varying industries and products like phones, fabrics, cosmetics, construction, sports, and automobiles. Nanotechnology can also be used for filtration and drug delivery in medical settings. I have also read about using nanotechnology to deliver bacteriophages.
