This subfield aims to develop new and improved biomedical and biotechnological applications through the use of nanoparticles, nanoscale materials, and nanodevices.

- "Nanobiotechnology, bionanotechnology, and nanobiology are terms that refer to the intersection of nanotechnology and biology."
- "Concepts that are enhanced through nanobiology include: nanodevices (such as biological machines), nanoparticles, and nanoscale phenomena that occurs within the discipline of nanotechnology."
- "This technical approach to biology allows scientists to imagine and create systems that can be used for biological research."
- "Biologically inspired nanotechnology uses biological systems as the inspirations for technologies not yet created."
- "However, as with nanotechnology and biotechnology, bionanotechnology does have many potential ethical issues associated with it."
- "The most important objectives that are frequently found in nanobiology involve applying nanotools to relevant medical/biological problems and refining these applications."
- "Developing new tools, such as peptoid nanosheets, for medical and biological purposes is another primary objective in nanotechnology."
- "The imaging of native biomolecules, biological membranes, and tissues is also a major topic for nanobiology researchers."
- "Other topics concerning nanobiology include the use of cantilever array sensors."
- "The application of nanophotonics for manipulating molecular processes in living cells."
- "Recently, the use of microorganisms to synthesize functional nanoparticles has been of great interest."
- "Microorganisms can change the oxidation state of metals."
- "Microbial processes for synthesizing nanomaterials can be achieved in aqueous phase under gentle and environmentally benign conditions."
- "This approach has become an attractive focus in current green bionanotechnology research towards sustainable development."
