Nanoparticle Technology Enhances Effectiveness of Radiotherapy

The nanoscale is creating a massive paradigm shift. Referring to structures of between 1 and 100 nm, the nanoscale is marked as the point where the properties of a material change to have new and specific physical properties. To get a sense of the size, a nanometer is one-millionth of a millimeter. Nanoparticles can be designed with precise competencies such as the ability to cut, glue, or deliver energy. Increasingly, they are also being used to develop game-changing medicines.
