  • The article focuses on the use of nanotechnology in the creation of 'smart bandages,' which help heal wounds at a faster rate than traditional bandages. Topics include how nanotechnology allows doctors to monitor the amount of oxygen a wound is receiving during the recovery process, the development of bandages that dispense drugs into wounds, and the nanoengineering of bandages with nanoscale coatings.
