Nanotechnology is a multidisciplinary field that involves collaboration among researchers from various fields. It has diverse applications in smart sensing technologies, disease diagnosis, and treatment. In medicine, nanotechnology allows interaction at the molecular level, enabling high sensitivity and specificity. Nanomaterials, with their unique characteristics, are widely used in different industries and have the potential to reduce pollutants in the environment. They also play a significant role in drug discovery and delivery systems.
Nanotechnology encompasses a wide range of devices derived from biology, engineering, chemistry, and physics, and this scientific field is composed of great collaboration among researchers from several fields. It has diverse implications notably smart sensing technologies, effective disease diagnosis, and sometimes used in treatment. In medical science, the implications of nanotechnology include the development of elements and devices that interact with the body at subcellular (i.e., molecular) levels exhibiting high sensitivity and specificity. There is a plethora of new chances for medical science and disease treatment to be discovered and exploited in the rapidly developing field of nanotechnology. In different sectors, nanomaterials are used just because of their special characteristics. Their large surface area of them enables higher reactivity with greater efficiency. Furthermore, special surface chemistry is displayed by nanomaterials which compare to conventional materials and facilitate the nanomaterials to decrease pollutants efficiently. Recently, nanomaterials are used in some countries to reduce the levels of contaminants in water, air, and soil. Moreover, nanomaterials are used in the cosmetics and medical industry, and it develops the drug discovery (DD) system. Among a huge number of nanomaterials, Cu, Ag, TiO2, ZnO, Fe3O4, and carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are extensively used in different industries for various purposes. This extensive review study has introduced the major scientific and technical features of nanotech-nology, as well as some possible clinical applications and positive feedback in environmental waste management and drug delivery systems.
