title: [Nanotechnology & nanoparticles and their advances of investigation and application in the fields of biomedicine].
abstract: Nanotechnology is the technique that is used in manufacturing special function products with the studies of movement regularities and properties for electrons, atoms and molecules within 1-100 nm. It is penetrating into the fields of biology and medicine. Because nanoparticles possess quantum size effect, surface little size effect and grand quantum tunnel effect, they exhibit many characteristics such as great specific surface area, high surface activity, a lot of surface active centers, high catalytic efficiency and strong adsorbing ability. The development of biology and medicine will be speeded up with the progress of nanotechnology and the understanding of nanoparticles.
