Nanotechnology is a novel and rapidly growing multidisciplinary field with major and multifold advances in the fields of engineering, electronics, energy, environment, biology, and medicine. The foundation of this novel science is laid down with the visionary ideas of Feynman in the 1950s. In this chapter the history of nanoscience is presented and an overview of applications of nanoparticles in biology and medicine are discussed. Several applications ranging from bioseparations, biosensing, molecular imaging, drug delivery, to hyperthermic treatment have been summarized. |
