Abstract
Nanotechnology is the focus of many scientific communities due to its multifunction. To realize such functionality, the size, dimensions, and shape dependent physio-chemical properties are first analyzed. Then, measurable nanostructures including nanomaterials, nanocomposite, and nanoparticles which impact the functional properties of materials and devises are assessed. Herein, the role of such nanostructures in enhancing the efficiency, performance, and quality of materials and technology is envisioned. As a vehicle, contributions of Nanotechnology in smart health care systems, food manufacturing, electronics, sustainable energy, and green economy are explored. Nanotechnology is then aimed at incorporating nanomaterials for efficient biomedicine, improved biotechnology, enhancing Decarbonization technology, and ensuring safety environment. Moreover, the notion of nanotechnology in changing a plagiarism shift in information process, smart health care system, and nanomedicine by incorporating internet of Nanothings, nanosensor, innovative technology, and recycling technology. Nanotechnology and sustainability motion encompasses fundamental principles and strategies directed toward carbon reduction, ensuring green ecosystem, and improving quality. Hence, the potential of nanotechnology in ensuring green nanotechnology, mitigating global warming, wastewater treatment, enabling agricultural transformation from, and maintaining sustainable development is seen. In addition, the role of nanotechnology at creating space and career opportunities, active areas of research and development are highlighted. In the future, nanotechnology will empower the integration of Green nanotechnology and biotechnology for ensuring reliable energy, food safety, personal medicine, and green ecosystem.
