nano-science

Nano-science is the study of structures ans materials on the scale of nanometers, and it´s referers to the metric profix 10^-9.  It means one billionth of something.

When structures are made small enought in the nanometer size range, they can take on interesting and useful properties.
Nanoscience has already impacted our lives with innovations such as strain resistant fabrics inspired by nanoscale features found on lotus plants and computer hard drives, which store information on magnetic strips that are just 20 nanometers thick. Scientists and engineers from several disciplines including physics, chemistry, biology and material science use nanoscience principles for advanced applications in energy, medicine, information storage, computing and elsewhere.

Nanotechnology will eventually provide us with the ability to design custom-made materials and products with new enhanced properties, new nanoelectronics components, new types of “smart” medicines and sensors, and even interfaces between electronics and biological systems, like nano delivery of drugs (Chih-Hung Lin et al, 2017).

These newborn scientific disciplines are situated at the interface between physics, chemistry, materials science, microelectronics, biochemistry, and biotechnology. Control of these disciplines therefore requires an academic and multidisciplinary scientific education.

In my area (envormental science💓) it´s also important because Nanotechnology has entered to the present world and the center of science, technology and business within a few years,so it is not vain the growing interest to know the effects of these novel materials in the environment

Due to the growing interest in the effect of Np (Nanoparticles) on the environment, a branch called nanotoxicology (Frejo, M. T. et al, 2011) has emerged, defined as the science that studies the toxic effects of nanomaterials, including nanoparticles, on the environment and living beings, whose main risk it lies in the direct contact that these have with ecosystems by diverse routes, which increases their bioavailability and favors a great amount on chemical, physical and biological reactions, but some off it may can be occuped for solve some chemical problems, like water pollution using nanofiltration (Vargas-Hernandez, jesus et al,2016) 😊
