How Can Nanotechnology Help Mitigate Radiation Risks?
Nanotechnology offers innovative solutions to mitigate radiation risks:
1. Radiation Shielding: Nanomaterials such as boron nitride nanotubes and graphene can be used to develop more effective radiation shields. 2. Radiation Detection: Nanosensors can provide highly sensitive detection of radiation levels, ensuring better monitoring and safety. 3. Drug Delivery: Nanocarriers can be engineered to deliver drugs specifically to radiation-damaged cells, improving treatment outcomes for radiation-induced injuries.
