Abstract

One of the most exciting twenty-first-century technologies is nanotechnology. Nanotechnology focuses on the creation and application of materials of nanoscale dimensions in several facets of life. Due to their small size, nanoparticles have a high surface-to-volume ratio and a variety of unique characteristics. The development of novel techniques for creating new products, formulating new chemicals and materials, and replacing the current generation of equipment with improved performance equipment are some of the main applications of the young and developing science known as nanotechnology. These techniques also provide environmental remediation options. The potential impact on society, business, and the economy will become increasingly clear as nanotechnology transitions from theoretical to practical, encouraging essential responses to existing issues. Ultimately, the chapter underscores the important role that nanotechnology is likely to play in shaping our future, and the need for individuals to remain informed and engaged as these technologies continue to evolve. In addition to catalysis and environmental remediation, the chapter also examines the uses of nanotechnology in the fields of animal, agricultural, nutritional, medical, and pharmaceutical sciences. The chapter gives summaries of the most recent nanotechnology applications that have an impact on several facets of human life.
