Today's Topic

Nanotechnology—the science of manipulating the very, very tiny—could revolutionize medicine. Nanomagnets could fry tumors, for example, and an army of nanosensors within the body could detect the onset of life-threatening infections and diseases. Some of these ideas are already in clinical trials. But how far are they from becoming reality? What are the potential side effects? And what will nanotechnology mean for personalized medicine?

Join us for a live chat at 3 p.m. EDT on Thursday, 24 May, on this page. You can leave your questions in the comment box below before the chat starts. The full text of the chat will be archived on this page
