Nanotechnology and Applications "change the world"

Not only help prevention and treatment of diseases in plants, nanomaterials can save lives from some cancers, enhance health. "Nanotechnology can change the whole world, no one country is not interested in this area because of the application of most of the social life. 

The problem is how to choose the direction in accordance with the and demand conditions, "professor Nguyen Hoang Luong, Ha Noi University of Natural emphasized at the workshop," nanotechnology and its application in medicine - medicine "by the Ministry of Science and technology held on 19/7.

Professor Liang, in Vietnam, this advanced technology is increasingly investment, scientific research has many applications such as cancer detection kits expectations surround; Quick test strips to detect rotavirus diarrhea in children, extracted DNA diagnostics serve.

Nanotechnology and Applications "change the world"

Not only Professor Liang, most scientists are evaluating the role of nanomaterials, especially in agriculture and medicine. In agriculture, according to Nguyen Hoang Nam, Hanoi University of Natural, nano silver, copper capable of disinfection, reducing photosynthesis fungi help plants better; carbon nanotubes increases the likelihood of tree growth.

Nano silver shrimp bathed, and nano calcium, zinc is used as micronutrient fertilizers and animal feed. In Medicine - pharmaceutical, Vietnam is moving toward using nanotechnology in biological markers, cell extraction, thermal burn cancer cells, injections. "Nano silver to disinfect and reject alternatives to antibiotics.

It is also used in medical dressings and potentially stimulate new skin grows faster in burns, wounds. While nano calcium, zinc helps the body to easily absorb more goes into the stomach; cucumin nano also anti-cancer and intestinal diseases, "said Nam cited.

At the conference, one of the research and application of nano attract the attention of the scientific community is studying the test strip quickly detect rotavirus diarrhea of ​​children, of the Polytechnic University of Hanoi. Mr. Zhang Guofeng said the group has grown rapidly strips rotavirus from stool samples based on the principles of immune chromatography.

30mm gold nanoparticles could be made with functionalized surfaces with a molecular layer. The scientists attached covalent rotavirus antibodies to the surface of gold nano in appropriate conditions. The components of the test strip includes pieces conjugates, sample pads...

"The device was created with the ability to detect rotavirus in stool specimens form simple, low threshold analysis time under 10 minutes, and high precision. This success contributed to the localization of products with prices lower than foreign products, "Phong said.
