Current Relevance of Nanotechnology to Medicine and Industry

Abstract

Nanotechnology based approaches find unprecedented application in the field of medicine and facilitation of safe and sustainable environment. Nevertheless, the key challenge lies in identifying and addressing their consequences on human health and environmental viability as well as understanding the underlying processes based on nanoparticle specific interactions. The research, review and editorial observations published as constituents of second issue in the journal of the current year, verily explores these dimensions of nanotechnology. Specifically, these articles focus on silver nanoparticle rinse based tooth enamel remineralization-hardening; the role of metal nanoparticles in environmental friendly industrial reactions as well as the need to develop nanotechnological approaches to comprehensively fight the current COVID-19 pandemic.
