Phosphorus

Biomolecular Nanotechnology
Also known as "life," biomolecular nanotechnology based on carbon, in combination with mostly oxgen, nitrogen, hydrogen, phosphorous and various amounds of many other elements.

DNA Nanotechnology
Phosphorus (specifically phosphate groups) link the individual units of DNA together to form a chain.

If you are aware of another use for this element in nanotechnology, please post it in the Nanotechnology Forum so that we can discuss adding it here.
