Study for the development of a biosensor oriented at the interaction-response of chemical war agents and ionizing radiations

The development of technologies has always been gaining prominence due to its great potential in meeting demands closely linked to exposed weaknesses. These needs may be related to applications in energy, medicine, radiopharmaceuticals and curative, interventional and diagnostic health, applications in the areas of security and defense, food technologies, academic development, among others. The use of applied nuclear physics opens up a set of great possibilities due to the capacity for interaction between the development of new instrumentation and what our imagination allows to do. The combination of applied nuclear physics and integrated biological systems allow to convert one form of energy into a different one, based on the reading of a transduced biological signal, for example, an initial purely chemical signal into an electrical signal. The ability to detect or sense chemical warfare agents and ionizing radiation in the same device is something new, there are no records about a device or tool. In addition to increasing national autonomy on the topic, with a view to minimizing costs as an essential engineering parameter, it corroborates ideas of nuclear safety, microstructure applications, nuclear engineering applications, efficiency, quality (sensitivities) and others. The development of new biosensors with versatile applications shows new possibilities, being capable of acting in the characterization of chemical warfare agents (such as detection of organophosphates) and ionizing radiations.
