Abstract
SHS investigation development is considered from the geographical and historical viewpoint. 3 stages are described. Within Stage 1 the work was carried out in the Department of the Institute of Chemical Physics in Chernogolovka where the scientific discovery had been made. At Stage 2 the interest to SHS arose in different cities and towns of the former USSR. Within Stage 3 SHS entered the international scene. Now SHS processes and products are being studied in more than 50 countries.
Abstract
Nanomedicine is a reality nowadays. The first generation nanomedical capabilities, in the form of functionalized nanoparticles, comprising a wide range of organic and inorganic materials at various nanoscale dimensions, initially emerged in the early 1990s, and have since undergone dramatically rapid expansion. Nanomedicine is one of the important applications of nanotechnology. The development of smaller, less invasive, smarter, more precise, and more efficient medical devices is a fast-expanding global trend. The creation of specialized nanoparticles for use in medicine, such as magnetic nanoparticles and gold nanoshells, is advancing daily. This development is happening while nanomedicine is still in its early stages. As reported, superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles are being used to specifically target and thermally destroy cancer cells without causing collateral damage to surrounding healthy cells and tissues.
