Conventional therapeutic strategies often face limitations such as poor bioavailability, frequent dosing, and lack of real-time glucose regulation. The emergence of smart nanotechnology offers transformative possibilities for the prevention, diagnosis, and management of diabetes within the broader framework of smart health and precision medicine. This review highlights recent advances in the design and application of nanomaterials for diabetes management, focusing on two key areas: drug delivery and glucose monitoring. Smart nanocarriers comprising polymeric, lipid-based, and metallic nanoparticles enable controlled and stimuli-responsive insulin release, improved pharmacokinetic profiles, and enhanced patient compliance. Concurrently, nano-enabled biosensors and wearable devices have revolutionized continuous glucose monitoring through superior sensitivity, selectivity, and integration with digital health platforms. The convergence of nanotechnology with artificial intelligence (AI), Internet of Medical Things (IoMT), and real-world health data further accelerates personalized diabetes care by enabling predictive monitoring and adaptive insulin therapy. Despite remarkable progress, challenges remain regarding clinical translation, long-term biosafety, and regulatory standardization. This review discusses these aspects comprehensively and provides future perspectives on integrating smart nanotechnology into sustainable, patient-centered diabetes management systems.</p><h3>Graphical abstract</h3><div><figure><div><div><picture><source><img></source></picture><span>The alternative text for this image may have been generated using AI.</span></div></div></figure></div></div>","PeriodicalId":51136,"journal":{"name":"Nanoscale Research Letters","volume":"21 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.1,"publicationDate":"2026-04-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1186/s11671-026-04589-4.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147790666","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this study, the thermophysical properties of a novel Al₂O₃–TiO₂–CuO–Fe₃O₄/water–EG quadri-hybrid nanofluid were experimentally investigated. The suspension was stabilized using oleic acid and sodium dodecyl sulfonate, and the nanoparticles were characterized by SEM and XRD analyses. Dynamic viscosity, electrical conductivity, and surface tension were measured in the temperature range of 298–340 K at nanoparticle volume fractions of 0.1–1%. The electrical conductivity increased monotonically with concentration, reaching a maximum enhancement of approximately 170% at 1% loading. Surface tension exhibited a non-monotonic U-shaped trend, with a maximum reduction of 29% at 0.1% concentration. Rheological analysis revealed two distinct regimes: a low-shear Newtonian plateau and a high-shear shear-thickening behavior, where viscosity increased by nearly one order of magnitude under combined high-temperature and high-shear conditions. To model this nonlinear behavior, a high-accuracy RBF-based correlation was developed, reproducing the experimental viscosity data with a deviation below 3%. The results highlight the strong coupling between temperature, shear rate, and nanoparticle concentration, providing new insights into the design of quadri-hybrid nanofluids with tailored flow and interfacial properties.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":51136,"journal":{"name":"Nanoscale Research Letters","volume":"21 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.1,"publicationDate":"2026-04-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1186/s11671-026-04602-w.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147790747","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
