The
benefits of nanotechnology are really vast. Nanotechnology has already begun to
change our lives and with further advancement in the field, it is estimated to
tremendously transform our lives on earth. It has also gone a long way in
transforming other technological fields. To say that nanotechnology is
beneficial would be an understatement. It is the borderline of human-made
devices and the largest molecules in living systems. Scientists are learning
how to effectively control and manipulate nanostructures as sophisticated
implements are being developed to that effect. We will
be able to develop new chemical, physical and biological properties of systems
that form the borderlines of atoms/molecules and large scale materials if we
are able to manipulate nanoscale particles

Few benefits of
nanotechnology are outlined here
- The variations on the nanoscale greatly
influence the quantum mechanical or wavelike properties of electrons in
matters. The micro and macro properties of the materials can be easily varied
with their nanoscale design. Such properties include but are not limited to
their charge capacity, melting temperature, magnetism and so forth.
- Biological systems and structures are
unique mainly because of the methodical, regular or systematic organization of
the matters on nanoscale. The advancement in nanotechnology will make it easier
to implant nanoscale objects and things produced with such advanced
technologies into living cells. Thus, the self-assembly features of nature can
be employed in the production of new materials via nanotechnology. As a matter
of fact, nanotechnology will effectively combine material science, engineering
field and sciences with biology.
- Nanoparticles and components find great
usefulness in the production of materials and devices like chemical energy
storage systems, reacting systems, drug delivery, composite materials and so
forth. This is mainly having high surface area to volume ratio.
- Nanotechnology makes it easier to
produce particles with better electrical conductivity and a slew of other
amazing properties and features. It can open up the way for the production of
smaller and faster electrical devices with sophisticated and complex functions
as well as capabilities. Power consumption can also be greatly reduced. This
can be achieved by effectively controlling the complexity and interactions of
nanostructure.
- Nanotechnology can also be very relevant
in vast of other applications. Titanium dioxide and zinc oxide nanoparticles
can be used in cosmetics, sunscreen, food products and so forth. Cerium oxide
can be used as fuel catalyst. It is used in developing countries to treat
diseases and prevent health issues under the name of nanomedicine. It is also
used in the purification of substances and desalination of water and so forth.
