The Nanoscience in Translational Medicine

　　Nanoscience is a part of science that studies small stuff, it’s not biology, physics or chemistry, it’s all sciences that work with the very small. Nanotechnology is the art and science of making useful stuff that does stuff on the nanometer length scale and includes advances in all industries, including the electronic, chemical, medical, and pharmaceutical. Nanomedicine is the medical application of nanotechnology and related research which is innovative technology of materials science and biology.   Designed as a broad survey of the field, this book is divided into three main sections:

　　•Nanophysic
　　•Nanochemistry
　　•Nanomedicine

　　Each chapter describes in detail currently valuable methods and contains numerous references to the primary literature, making this the perfect “filed guide” for biologists and physicians who want to explore the fascinating world of nanotechnology.

Nano-science is a part of science that studies small stuff, it’s not biology, physics or chemistry, it’s all sciences that work with the very small. Nanotechnology is the art and science of making useful stuff that does stuff on the nanometer length scale and includes advances in all industries, including the electronic, chemical, and pharmaceutical (Table 1).
