Nanotechnology is being used in developing countries to help treat disease and prevent health issues. The umbrella term for this kind of nanotechnology is Nano-medicine.
Nanotechnology is also being applied to or developed for application to a variety of industrial and purification processes. Purification and environmental cleanup applications include the desalination of water, water filtration, wastewater treatment, groundwater treatment, and other nano-remediation.
In industry, applications may include construction materials, military goods, and nano-machining of nano-wires, nano-rods, few layers of graphene, etc.
Recently a new field arisen from the root of Nanotechnology is called Nano-biotechnology. Nano-biotechnology is the biology-based, application-oriented frontier area of research in the hybrid discipline of Nano-science and biotechnology with an equivalent contribution.
Nanotechnology can be considered as an interesting low-cost technique in asphalt pavement engineering providing novel perspectives in making asphalt materials more durable.
