The Art of Nanomaterials

The secret of nanomaterials is not the size of the particles, but it is in the applications of nanomaterials and the art of making. Nanotechnology is science, engineering, and technology conducted at the nanoscale, which is about 1 to 100 nanometers. It is an amazing field dealing with very small size particles; imagine that a meter of cloth has been cut into a billion pieces (1 meter =109 nm). Thousands of years ago, the monuments were fabricated and reflected the art and coloures of paints. The Egyptian monuments reflect the beauty and art of paints in the papyrus papers, for example, the ancient pigment known as Egyptian blue may have important new applications in nanotechnology. Lotus flowers were once considered sacred in Egypt and parts of Asia. Significant advances in nanotechnology are helping researchers analyze the type of pigments used to paint mummy portraits in ancient Egypt. Scientists at Boise State University led by a Materials Science and Engineering Professor Darryl Butt, have taken a sliver of wood smaller than a human hair and extracted five extraordinarily tiny fragments—about 20 nanometers wide—and two thin foils of purple paint from a Romano-Egyptian mummy portrait dating to between A.D. 170 and 180. There is a new challenge facing the world, especially in the field of nanotechnology. It was stated by James Canton (2001) that if Nanotechnology, the manipulation of matter at the atomic level, at maturity achieves even a fraction of its promise, it will force the reassessment of global markets and Economies and industries on a scale never experienced before in human history. Nanotechnology will be discussed from all aspects of economics such as wages, employment, purchasing, pricing, capital, exchange rates, currencies, markets, supply and demand. Nanotechnology may well drive economic prosperity or at the least be an enabling factor in shaping productivity and global competitiveness.

Nanomedicine is a reality nowadays. The first generation nanomedical capabilities, in the form of functionalized nanoparticles, comprising a wide range of organic and inorganic materials at various nanoscale dimensions, initially emerged in the early 1990s, and have since undergone dramatically rapid expansion. Nanomedicine is one of the important applications of nanotechnology. The development of smaller, less invasive, smarter, more precise, and more efficient medical devices is a fast-expanding global trend. The creation of specialized nanoparticles for use in medicine, such as magnetic nanoparticles and gold nanoshells, is advancing daily. This development is happening while nanomedicine is still in its early stages. As reported, superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles are being used to specifically target and thermally destroy cancer cells without causing collateral damage to surrounding healthy cells and tissues.

There is no doubt that nanomedicine has a bright future and that it is being produced with increasing efficiency. It should be mentioned that the immune system is being improved by nanomedicine, and drug resistance can be managed since bacteria and viruses will be destroyed using a variety of techniques, including mechanical and thermal methods. This is done by continuous monitoring of the immune system. It will also benefit the technological development of nanomedicine in astronaut clothing. Spacecraft will contain a nanomedicine spacesuit to provide effective treatment to astronauts. Technological development, especially in the field of artificial intelligence, will be used to maximize nanomedicine use.

The environment is one of the hot issues nowadays because of pollution, global warming, and other issues. The main sources of energy are still non-renewable resources. Therefore, there is a need to solve environmental problems before it is too late to solve them. All living things on earth suffer because of environmental problems. The United Nation works with all countries to control environmental problems to protect the earth. Researchers pay great attention to help solve environmental problems. In addition to traditional methods of research, researchers use advanced technologies such as nanomaterials and nanotechnology. For example, in the near future, researchers will be able to use nanomaterials to extract energy from the air. Recently, attention has been paid to the relationship between nanoparticles and the environment, especially the impact of nanoparticle emission into the atmosphere on human health. There are a number of factors that can cause nanomaterials to adversely affect the ecosystem, for example, nanoparticles’ concentration, size, morphology and interaction of nanomaterials.

In reality, nanotechnology is transforming many areas of human life. It is a crucial component of many applications, including those that deal with environmental pollution, nanomedicine and health, water purification, and waste treatment. Nanotechnology has a significant role in the economy of many countries. The global nanotechnology market is expected to be more than $ 125 billion in 2024. In fact, this expectation is not fixed, but it can be changed anytime. As known, COVID-19 emerged in 2019 and 2020, and some companies, banks, etc. have gone bankrupt. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, plans and estimates have obviously changed. As reported, there are four generations of nanotechnology. The first generation is concerned with improved nanostructures, and the second generation is concerned with the application of nanostructures, such as drug delivery. The third and fourth generation are concerned with the further integration of nanomaterials applications, such as the use of nanobots in drug delivery.
