Nanotechnology: History and Various Applications, a Mini Review

Abstract

Nanotechnology is the branch of science that deals in technology at the scale of nanometers. To put it in perspective, a human hair can be around 1,00,000 nanometers wide. That’s the amount of detail and precision that goes with working in this field. In other words, nanomaterials are at the leading edge of the rapidly developing field of nanotechnology. Their unique size-dependent properties make these materials superior and indispensable in many areas of human activity. This brief review tries to summarise the most recent developments in the field of applied nanomaterials, in particular their application in Chemistry, Physics, biology, medicine, and other domains.
