Part of the book series: NanoScience and Technology ((NANO))

Abstract

The interface between nanosystems and biosystems is emerging as one of the broadest and most dynamic areas of science and technology, bringing together biology, chemistry, physics and many areas of engineering, biotechnology and medicine. The combination of these diverse areas of research promises to yield revolutionary advances in healthcare, medicine and the life science through, for example, the creation of new and powerful tools that enable direct, sensitive and rapid analysis of biological species and cellular activities. Research at the interface between nanomaterials and biology could yield breakthroughs in fundamental science and lead to revolutionary technologies. In this chapter, we will introduce studies focused on building the interface of NWs to cells and tissues, including extracellular and intracellular signal recording, synthetic cyborg tissues and in vivo recording.
