What is Nanotechnology?
Nanotechnology refers to the science, engineering, and application of materials and devices with at least one dimension sized from 1 to 100 nanometers. At this scale, materials often exhibit unique physical, chemical, and biological properties that differ from their bulk counterparts.
Medicine: Targeted drug delivery, cancer therapy, and regenerative medicine.
Electronics: Development of smaller, faster, and more efficient electronic devices.
Energy: Improving the efficiency of solar cells, batteries, and fuel cells.
Environment: Water purification, pollution detection, and remediation.
Materials Science: Creation of stronger, lighter, and more durable materials.
Health and Safety: Potential toxicity of nanoparticles and their effects on the human body.
Environmental Impact: Unintended consequences of nanoparticle release into the environment.
Privacy: Enhanced surveillance capabilities through nanoscale sensors.
Ethical Issues: Questions about the responsible use of nanotechnology and its societal impact.
