Abstract
This chapter discusses a new concept in X-ray nanochemistry – biological enhancement of X-ray effects using nanomaterials. Two types of biological enhancement are described here, and the rationale and principles of these two types are explained, followed by examples that provide the evidence for the existence of biological enhancement.
