Abstract
Nanotechnology is an emerging area of science and technology, which will leave no area untouched by its groundbreaking scientific achievements and innovations. It is the science of tiny particles. There is no field in our daily life, where the contribution of nanotechnology is left behind, from food safety, water purification, energy saving, agriculture science, medicines, diseases treatments, drug-delivery systems, catalysis, and cosmetics. The advantages of nanotechnology in our day-to-day life are unexpectedly very high, as every field of science, including engineering, chemistry, physics, and biology, is interlinked with nanotechnology. The innovations of this technology are revolutionary. In comparison to old traditional techniques of water purification, diagnosis, food packing, electrical appliances, for instance, these areas have been greatly advanced by utilizing nanotechnology. It enables the world with new unique products which are designed at the nano or atomic level, providing cost-effective methods for renewable energy sources in the form of solar cells, and keeping the environment clean. It saves time, money, and human resources. This chapter discusses the approaches, properties, and applications of nanotechnology in various fields such as water treatment, agriculture science, medicines, drug delivery, and energy saving, and explains how traditional methods have been advanced by nanotechnology.
