Abstract: (12474 Views) |
| There exist numerous methods for detection and identification of
bioterrorism agents. Some of these methods were developed
before and some after the September 11th crisis. Even though some
of these methods have been claimed to be fast, exact and trustable,
the reality is that a very rare variety of such methods are applicable
to the detection of bioterrorism agents.
In recent decades the fronteirs of science have advanced and new
discoveries have lead humanity to better and more efficient
products. One of these products is Nanotechnology.
Detection of chemical bombs and bioterrorism agents is one of the
basic activities in modern war defense. Thus, the development of
new tools that are able to directly analyze, be exact and fast is of
high importance in methods and tools of detection. With the
advancement of science and development of electronic devices
and the new technological power that has come to man’s use in the
recent decades, the need for construction of more efficient and
smaller detectors is sensed more. |
