The tools of nanodiagnostics, nanotherapy, and nanorobotics are
expected to revolutionize the future of medicine, leading to
presymptomatic diagnosis of disease, highly effective targeted
treatment therapy, and minimum side effects. Handbook of
Nanophysics: Nanomedicine and Nanorobotics presents an up-to-date
overview of the application of nanotechnology to molecular and
biological processes, medical imaging, targeted drug delivery, and
cancer treatment. Each peer-reviewed chapter contains a broad-based
introduction and enhances understanding of the state-of-the-art
scientific content through fundamental equations and illustrations,
some in color. This volume shows how the materials, tools, and
techniques of nanotechnology, such as enzymatic nanolithography,
biomimetic approaches, and force spectroscopy, are currently used
in biological applications, including living cell biochips,
biosensors, protein recognition, and the analysis of biomolecules.
Drawing on emerging toxicology research, it examines the impact and
risks of nanomaterials on human health and the environment.
Researchers at the forefront of the field cover tissue engineering,
diagnostic, drug delivery, and therapeutic applications, including
organs derived from nanomaterials, quantum dots and magnetic
nanoparticles for imaging, pharmaceutical nanocarriers, targeted
magnetic particles and biodegradable nanoparticles for drug
delivery, and cancer treatment using gold nanoparticles. They also
explain how cells and skin respond to these nanomaterials. In
addition, the book investigates the next generation of
nanotechnology research that is focused on nanorobotics and its
potential in detecting and destroying cancer cells and detecting
and measuring toxic chemicals. It considers the roles nanoheaters,
nanomotors, and nanobatteries can play in this new technology.
Nanophysics brings together multiple disciplines to determine the
