GAZA, Dec. 8 -- A team of young Palestinian scientists from the Gaza Strip is looking to develop antibiotics and fungus by nanotechnology.

The team, which is composed of three young people, recently won the first place in the competition of innovation health sector at the level of universities in the Gaza Strip.

The idea began two years ago with Salah al-Sadi, 36, who has a master degree in water and environmental sciences.

Al-Sadi told Xinhua that during his studies, he sought to develop a filter that removes salts and pollutants from water. The minerals melt in natural materials to the water.

He explained that the metals he used varied from gold, copper, silver, iron and aluminum, which after the melting, reached the image of nanotechnology.

Nanoscience is the study of the interaction, composition, properties and manufacturing methods of materials at the nanometer scale.

The science encourages integration of many disciplines and has a direct impact on daily work and life because it leads to the discovery of advanced technology.

"I started forming a team specialized in the nanotechnology project, which included two colleagues. The team's first experiments were to use nanoparticles to treat bacteria as an antibiotic," al-Sadi said.

He added that nanoparticles were studied as antibacterial and fungal in laboratories of the Islamic University.

National Research Center in Egypt conducted several tests to confirm their nanomaterials.
