Abstract
Nanotechnology has undergone significant development in recent years, particularly in the fabrication of sensors with a wide range of applications. The backbone of nanotechnology is nanostructures, which are determined on a nanoscale. Nanoparticles are abundant throughout the universe and are thought to be essential building components in the process of planet creation. Nanotechnology is generally concerned with structures that are between 1 and 100 nm in at least one dimension and involves the production of materials or electronics that are that small. Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are carbon-based nanomaterials that have the structure of tubes. Carbon nanotubes are often referred to as the kings of nanomaterials. The diameter of carbon is determined in nanometers. They are formed from graphite sheets and are available in a variety of colors. Carbon nanotubes have a number of characteristics, including high flexibility, good thermal conductivity, low density, and chemical stability. Carbon nanotubes have played an important part in nanotechnology, semiconductors, optical and other branches of materials engineering owing to their remarkable features. Several of the applications addressed in this review have already been developed and used to benefit people worldwide. CNTs have been discussed in several domains, including industry, construction, adsorption, sensors, silicon chips, water purifiers, and biomedical uses, to show many treatments such as injecting CNTs into kidney cancers in rats, drug delivery, and directing a near-infrared laser at the cancers. With the orderly development of research in this field, additional therapeutic modalities will be identified, mainly for dispersion and densification techniques and targeted drug delivery systems for managing and curing posterior cortical atrophy. This review discusses the characteristics of carbon nanotubes as well as therapeutic applications such as medical diagnostics and drug delivery.

Summary
Nanoscience is an interdisciplinary field of study encompassing but not limited to physics, chemistry, biology, medicine, engineering, and materials science. Carbon nanotubes can be synthesized using chemical vapor deposition, or plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition (CVD) [13], plasma or arc discharge evaporation [14], laser ablation [15], thermal synthesis [16] These processes all include the input of energy to the carbon source, resulting in fragments (groups or single carbon atoms) that can be recombined to form CNT. Throughout the reticuloendothelial system (RES), including the liver and spleen, after intraCarbon nanotubes (CNTs) have significant interest in materials science duesize venous therapy, withsparked biodistributions varied with the functionalization and, possibly, to their unique structure and magical properties. This review covers to functionalize nanotubes have resulted(with in the inorganic production of biocompatible and most recent breakthroughs in CNTcarbon modification strategies nanoparticles, water-soluble CNTs that are excellent for future cancer treatments with minimal pharmasmall molecules, etc.)ceutical after dosages, a brief high introduction.
