The field of nanotechnology is one of the most active research areas in modern material science. Nanoparticles exhibit new and improved properties based on specific characteristics such as size, distribution and morphology. Nanoparticles, because of their small size, have distinct properties compared to the bulk form of the same material, thus offering many new developments in the fields of biosensors, biomedicine and bionanotechnology. Nanotechnology is also being utilized in medicine for diagnosis, therapeutic drug delivery and the development of
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
