AZoNano spoke to Dr. Antonietta M. Gatti about the advances in nanopathology and how her laboratory is checking for the presence of nanoparticles to diagnose diseases.
As materials get smaller, transforming from bulk material to nanoparticle, their properties alter. Materials at the nanoscale are frequently reported to have unique optical, electronic and/or, mechanical properties. It is these properties that have made nanoparticles an increasingly popular field of study. Researchers are committed to understanding how the nanoscale versions of materials behave, and what properties they have, to exploit them and establish new and useful applications with new cap

The world of the nanomolecular is an enigmatic one. To understand the physical, chemical, and nuclear properties that shape the world, scientists have devised ever-more sophisticated methods over the last century. However, several classes of functional materials that have emerged in recent years have atomic structures limited to the nanoscale. These include nanoparticles, nanostructured materials, nanocomposites and bulk crystals which have an intrinsic nanoscale order.

The importance of nanotechnology as a strategic route in developing scientific research and economic growth has been recognized by most South American countries for the last fifteen years. Brazil has very much taken the lead and was investing in the development of nanotechnology as long ago as 2001, followed closely by the other large economies in the region, Mexico and Argentina. These three countries are not just the largest economies in the region but are also those that have a history of adv
