CONCEPT MAP

The unit's own concept map draws 'Recent Developments in Physics' as the root, branching immediately into 'Technology', 'Science' and 'Medicine' as three parallel top-level strands, each captioned 'a few areas as examples' since the unit does not claim to be exhaustive. The Technology strand splits into Robotics -- further broken down into its components, types, applications, the materials used to make robots, and its advantages and disadvantages -- and Nanoscience and Nanotechnology -- further broken down into nanoparticles, nano in nature, nano in laboratories, its early beginnings and development, its interdisciplinary character, its applications, and the harmful effects of nanoparticles. The Science strand splits into Black Holes and Gravitational Waves under Cosmology, and separately into Particle Physics. The Medicine strand splits into 'Inventions in physics and developments in medical science' (the unit's own timeline table) and 'Recent medical technology' (the eight advancements in diagnosis and therapy).
