Background, Trends, Applications and Therapeutic Approaches of Nanoparticles: A Review

Abstract

The development of nanoscience and nanotechnology in practically every field of science has simplified modern life. Since the arrangement of atoms in structures, electronics and systems produce their distinctive properties and functionalities on the scale of 1-100 nm. Beginning in the early 2000s, there was a rise in public discussion and understanding of the field which prompted the first commercial applications of nanotechnology. Nanotechnologies have a positive impact on almost all fields of study including physics, materials science, chemistry, biology, computer science and engineering. Notably, nanotechnologies have recently been employed with hopeful results to enhance human health, particularly in the field of cancer therapy. Understanding the nature of nanotechnology requires an understanding of the history of scientific discoveries that led to our current understanding of the field.
