Abstract

Everything when miniaturized to the sub-100 nanometer scale, has new properties, regardless of what it is said Chad Mirkin, Professor of Chemistry (and materials science, engineering, medicine, biomedical engineering, and chemical and biological engineering) at Northwestern University, Chicago, IL. Indeed, nanoscale materials are used from sunscreen to chemical catalysis to antibacterial agents from the mundane to life-saving. Researchers are developing nanoscale assays to screen cancer, and detect infections and genes [1–8].
