Nanomaterials are becoming important materials in several fields and industries thanks to their very reduced size and shape-related features. Scientists think that nanoparticles and nanostructured materials originated during the Big Bang process from meteorites leading to the formation of the universe and Earth. Since 1990, the term nanotechnology became very popular due to advances in imaging technologies that paved the way to specific industrial applications. Currently, nanoparticles and nanostructured materials are synthesized on a large scale and are indispensable for many industries. This fact fosters and supports research in biochemistry, biophysics, and biochemical engineering applications. Recently, nanotechnology has been combined with other sciences to fabricate new forms of nanomaterials that could be used, for instance, for diagnostic tools, drug delivery systems, energy generation/storage, environmental remediation as well as agriculture and food processing. In contrast with traditional materials, specific features can be integrated into nanoparticles, nanostructures, and nanosystems by simply modifying their scale, shape, and composition. This article first summarizes the history of nanomaterials and nanotechnology. Followed by the progress that led to improved synthesis processes to produce different nanoparticles and nanostructures characterized by specific features. The content finally presents various origins and sources of nanomaterials, synthesis strategies, their toxicity, risks, regulations, and self-aggregation.

“…Nowadays, there is no international regulation of nanomaterial-based products and nanotechnology [48], probably due to a conflict of perspectives in the regulatory arena among international stakeholders and decision-makers [49]. Nevertheless, some countries have applied similar points of this framework mentioned in the answer to regulate ENMs and nano-enabled products, such as in Europe, the US, and Japan [50,51].…”

Artificial intelligence gained a surge in popularity through the release of conversational artificial intelligence tools, which enable individuals to use the technology without any prior knowledge or expertise in computational science. Researchers, content writers, as well as curious minds may use these tools to investigate any topics in question. Environmental topics, as one of the current public concerns, are covered by many different kinds of media, indicating a broad public interest. To assess the possibility of using these tools in environmental-related content writing or research, we tested the capabilities of conversational artificial intelligence tools on selected environmental topics. In particular, we tested different tools (ChatGPT, Microsoft Bing, Google Bard) and different languages (English, Spanish, Korean, German, Turkish and Chinese) via using selected questions and compared the answers with each other. Our results suggest that conversational artificial intelligence tools may provide satisfactory and comprehensive answers; however, we found some of the statements debatable and texts still need to be reviewed by an expert. Selected tools may offer specific advantages, such as providing references, although certain issues may need to be checked for each tool. The usage of different languages may provide additional points within the content; however, this does not necessarily imply that these new facets arise solely from utilizing different languages, since new aspects may also be attributed to the ‘randomness of the generated answers’. We suggest asking the same question several times as the tools mostly generate random answers each time, especially for ChatGPT, to obtain a more comprehensive content.

“…Desde el año 2000, en Estados Unidos se ha elaborado un marco regulatorio que contempla los riesgos de la nanotecnología, tanto en la industria como en las universidades (Jung & Lee, 2014;Justo-Hanani & Dayan, 2015), debido a que la consideran estratégica para la competitividad industrial (Michelson, 2008;Motoyama, Appelbaum, & Parker, 2011). Desde el punto de vista de la regulación y estandarización de productos nanotecnológicos, es importante señalar que ya está contemplada por organizaciones como la iso, la iec y el cen (Soltani & Pouypouy, 2019). A pesar de no ser mecanismos oficiales, sino de competitividad, regulaciones como el iso, han llenado el vacío oficial regulatorio en naciones latinoamericanas como México (Delgado-Ramos, 2014).…”

Actualmente, la nanotecnología es un área emergente del conocimiento de carácter interdisciplinario. Abarca diversas aplicaciones que incluyen la biomédica, alimentos, energía, armamentista e industrial. A pesar del potencial de sus aplicaciones, en este momento surge la necesidad de considerar éticamente los beneficios y riesgos que representa el uso y desarrollo de la nanotecnología para los ecosistemas natural, económico y social. En este documento se analizan cuestiones éticas del uso de la nanotecnología, incluyendo aspectos normativos y análisis de riesgo desde el punto de vista de sus dimensiones bioéticas. Es relevante una reflexión relacionada con las implicaciones éticas y bioéticas de las diferentes aplicaciones nanotecnológicas, sin dejar de lado sus posibles beneficios y amenazas. En general, esta reflexión conduce a la necesidad de que los investigadores influyan para que el marco normativo nacional e internacional no limite el desarrollo del avance científico, pero que sí asegure que dicho progreso no atente contra la seguridad de los seres humanos y del planeta en general.
