Innovations of Nanotechnology in Various Fields for a Better Future | Chapter 2 | Innovations in Science and Technology: Shaping a Sustainable Future (Vol. 1)

 In the world of modern technologies nanotechnology is developing rapidly. It was first introduced by Richard P. Feynman in his lecture at the California Institute of Technology in 1959. Nanotechnology deals with material sizes ranging between 1-100 nanometers. In our day-to-day life, nanotechnology is already present from textiles to food packaging and transportation Lightweight roads, sea, air, and space vehicles are also the creation of nanotechnology. Nanotechnology and materials also support our health and well-being through wearable biosensors and biomaterials for regenerative medicine like enhancing methods for detection and treatment of diseases like cancer. Nanotechnology-based diagnosis and treatment, nanoparticle-based imaging, and encapsulation of drugs in nanoparticles have led to better drug delivery systems and the use of those encapsulated drugs in nanoparticles in targeted therapies are the most well-known health-related applications.

In upcoming times nanotechnology will have a remarkable contribution to economic growth and job creation. The digital transformation will be accelerated by nanotechnology, which offers a wide range of nano-devices for application in the future of society, including smart robots, driverless cars, and Internet of Things sensors. Making water free from pollutants, reducing CO2 (carbon dioxide) emissions, and solar cells, are some of the contributions of nanotechnology to sustainable society. Nanotechnology is now focusing on manufacturing green nano-products and their utilization to help maintain sustainability and reduce the risk of nano-products to the environment and human health. The future approach of nanotechnology includes food Nanotechnology, Nanodentistry, Nanorobotics, Energy production, and storage with the help of nanotechnology.
