What Are Some Real-World Applications of Nanotechnology in Disaster Recovery?
Real-world applications of nanotechnology in disaster recovery are diverse. For example, nanotechnology has been used to develop advanced oil spill cleanup techniques, where nanomaterials act as sponges to absorb oil. In the aftermath of the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster, nanotechnology-based filters were employed to remove radioactive contaminants from water. Additionally, nanocoatings are being used to protect cultural heritage sites from pollution and weather damage.
