(CNSs) in biomedical research. A few examples are the use of CNSs in medication, for

protein administration and in instruments to provide nucleic acids to treat cancer and

other chronic diseases. The near-infrared optical characteristics of CNSs allowed them

to be used in diagnostics and in non-invasive and very sensitive imaging equipment. In

recent years, the scientific and industrial sectors have paid increasing attention to the

physical and chemical properties of various nanomaterials. Structure, electronics,

water, and more may all be derived from them. This chapter will focus on carbon

nanomaterials and related nanostructures, which are designed to give the most up-t-

-date research results. There is a broad acceptance of traditional medicine in many

societies, with over 60 percent of the world's population and over 80 percent of the

population in developing countries depending on medicinal plants for medical reasons.

Among the many reasons for this are the ease of use, affordability, and low cost. It is

believed that nanotechnology will play a significant role in medicinal plant research

and drug delivery in the near future. These nano-drug delivery devices may boost the

activity of medicinal plants, but also solve some of their limitations. Nanocarriers

aiding in the treatment of cancer, diabetes, and other life-threatening illnesses by

delivering herbal chemicals will also be discussed in this chapter.
