Nanomedicine, the medical application of nanotechnology, is poised to make a major impact on the diagnosis and treatment of many diseases. It is a relatively new branch of science that involves harnessing the unique properties of particles that are nanometers in scale (nanoparticles) for both diagnostic and therapeutic applications. Nanoparticles (NPs) can be engineered with precise sizes, shap...

The most rapid contribution which atomic energy makes to the economy of a country is by the industrial applications of radioisotopes. In research they may be used to reveal unique information about the nature of chemical processes , or as a fast and cheap tool to provide information more quickly or more accurately than could be obtained by other means. In manufacturing they are used to control ...
