The Emerging Role of Nano-informatics in America

Abstract

The rapid expansion of nanotechnology coupled with its integration into different scientific domains has led to a new era. In recent decades, there has been an emergence of nano-informatics in the USA and other European countries which deals with information science and nanotechnology. The present study reports the initiation and applicative properties of nano-informatics in accordance to its scientific roles in America. In order to achieve the required milestone in nano-informatics, there are major challenges that need to be addressed as scanty reports are available on nano-informatics. Hence, the study highlights the importance of nano-informatics in data curation and mining along with the role of governing bodies and the establishment of databases. These establishments are well organized to implement the untapped role of nano-informatics which is rapidly growing. The information provided in the present mini-review adds scientific inputs towards the growing knowledge of nanotechnology and information science along with their future prospects.
