Type: Adaptability of silver nanoparticles in healthcare products for their antimicrobial properties
A nano device is a minute structure or system that operates at the nanoscale level, typically ranging from 1 - 100 nanometers in size. These devices have numerous applications in various industries, including electronics, medicine, and renewable energy. Due to their small scale and high efficiency, they offer significant advantages such as reduced power consumption, improved performance, and increased precision. Need-based preference for nano devices largely depends on their application; for instance, medical professionals may utilize them for targeted drug delivery or diagnostics, while engineers may employ them in developing advanced materials or electronic components. A nanomanipulator is a highly specialized device used for precisely manipulating and characterizing materials at the nanoscale level, allowing researchers to interact with and control objects as small as individual atoms or molecules, enabling the development of advanced nanotechnologies in various fields such as electronics, biomedicine, and material science. Nanomechanical test instruments are essential tools designed to determine the mechanical properties of materials at the nanoscale. Nanoscale infrared spectrometers represent an advanced class of analytical instruments that couple infrared spectroscopy with atomic force microscopy (AFM) or scanning near-field optical microscopy (SNOM). Nano materials are substances engineered at the nanoscale level to exhibit unique properties distinct from their bulk counterparts. They come in various forms, such as nanoparticles, nanocomposites, and nanofilms, and are used across multiple industries such as automotive, aerospace, healthcare, and consumer goods due to their enhanced mechanical strength, electrical conductivity, or magnetic properties. The choice of a specific nano material depends on its desired characteristics and functionality; graphene is preferred for its exceptional strength and conductivity in electronics, while silver nanoparticles are favored for their antimicrobial properties in healthcare products. Nanosensors provide electrical signals proportional to the stimulus’s magnitude to detect and react to physical or chemical stimuli at the nanoscale level. A biosensor utilizes biological elements, such as enzymes or antibodies, to detect specific analytes in various environments. Chemical nanosensors are devices that use nanotechnology to identify the presence and concentration of chemical species. Optical nanosensors are based on the interaction between light and nanostructured materials to detect analytes in real-time with high sensitivity and selectivity. Physical nanosensors are devices that rely on measuring changes in physical properties at the nanoscale in response to the presence of specific analytes. These have found applications in environmental monitoring, healthcare diagnostics, food safety, and security systems due to their high sensitivity and accuracy.
End-User: Proliferation of nanotechnology in aerospace & defense for light weight materials
Nanotechnology in the aerospace and defense sector is used because of its need for lightweight, strong, and durable materials.
