By Ibtisam AbbasiReviewed by Lexie CornerOct 29 2024 Technologies operating at the nanoscale enable the manipulation of materials at the atomic and molecular levels, allowing precise control over their properties, such as conductivity, strength, and reactivity. This capability supports the development of new, improved, and application-specific materials.
Additionally, nanometer-thick coatings are increasingly valuable in industrial applications, as demonstrated by companies like BI State Rubber. These coatings offer enhanced protection against heat and UV radiation and provide improved adhesive properties during manufacturing.4 With ongoing advancements in smart nano-coatings, substantial growth in this market sector is anticipated.
Nanotechnology’s Role in Modern Electronics Carbon Nanotubes for Energy Storage Applications Nanotechnology has introduced notable improvements in the electronics industry, enhancing device performance and efficiency. The use of nanomaterials has enabled miniaturization of electronic components without compromising functionality.6
Nanotechnology in Modern Healthcare and Medicine Nanotechnology-based tools have become integral to modern healthcare and biomedicine. The application of nanotechnology in cancer diagnosis, targeted drug delivery, and pharmaceutical manufacturing has contributed to substantial improvements in treatment quality and patient outcomes. This integration has led to the emergence of nanomedicine, a field dedicated to advanced diagnostics, disease prevention, and efficient drug synthesis.
Researchers are also exploring surgical applications of wireless nanorobots to treat specific diseases. These nanobots operate at a scale fine enough to enable targeted drug delivery and even cut a single neuronal dendrite without damaging the surrounding neuronal networks.12
