ADVANCED NANOMATERIALS. Those materials characterized by a size less than 100 nanometres in any of their external dimensions. These materials can come in different forms and thus exhibit different properties with different applications: nanoparticles, nanofibers and nanocables, nanofluids and dispersions, and nanocomposites. The techniques used in Nano-fabrication include lithography, self-assembly, molecular beam epitaxy, and sol-gel synthesis Advanced Nanomaterials - Synthesis, Fabrication, Processing and Characterization. Each methodology has benefits and drawbacks, and the choice of the method relies on the desired application.

Nanomedicine & Nanobiotechnology Nanobiotechnology is a new field of science that introduces special physicochemical and biological properties of nanostructures and their applications in various areas such as medicine and agriculture. Metal nanoparticles have been found to be dominant compounds affecting fungal diseases both in humans and plants. Nanomedicine is the application of nanotechnology to achieve innovation in healthcare. It uses the properties developed by a material at its nanometric scale 10-9 m which often differ in terms of physics, chemistry or biology from the same material at a bigger scale.

Nanotechnology For Energy and Environment Nanotechnology provides a solution to clean contaminated water and prevent new pollution. Another nanotechnology used in large-scale oil spill cleanup and wastewater management is nanoscale zero valent iron technology (NZVI). In simple terms, it uses activated carbon to trap and remove pollution from the water. Nanotechnology is being used in several applications to improve the environment and to produce more efficient and cost-effective energy, as generating less pollution during the manufacture of materials, producing solar cells that generate electricity at a competitive cost, cleaning up organic chemicals polluting

NanoBiosensors A nanobiosensor is an analytical device in nanometer scales used to probe or measure biochemical substances, usually comprises a sensing element “bio-receptor” to interact with the targeted analyte and produce a detectable physical signal to be transformed by a transducer component.

Nanoelectronics and Nanophotonics Nanoelectronics is the term used in the field of nanotechnology for electronic components and research on improvements of electronics such as display, size, and power consumption of the device for the practical use. Nanophotonics or nano-optics is a part of nanotechnology that investigates the behavior of light on nanometer scales as well as interactions of nanometer-sized objects with light.

Nanotechnology in Agriculture, Food Industry and Water Treatment Nanotechnology applications in the food industry can be utilized to detect bacteria in packaging, or produce stronger flavors and color quality, and safety by increasing the barrier properties. Those nanocellulose materials are used to remove organic pollutants in water such as dyes, oils and pesticides traces present in water. Currently, fully biobased membrane using nanocellulose are fabricated which is used to remove metal ions such as Cu2+, Fe2+ etc, sulfates, fluorides and other organic compounds.

Bio-Nanomaterials and Biomedical devices, applications Nanomaterials have noteworthy applications in nanobiotechnology, particularly in diagnosis, drug delivery systems (Faraji and Wipf 2009), prostheses, and implants. Nanoscale materials integrate well into biomedical devices because most biological systems are also nanosized. Targeted gene therapy: Using nanoparticles like liposomes to deliver DNA and RNA to specific cells for correcting genetic defects. Antimicrobial surfaces: Adding nanomaterials like titanium dioxide, zinc oxide, and nanosilver to surfaces to prevent hospital-acquired infections

Nanoparticles and Nanocomposites The resultant nanomaterials can adsorb small molecules and have high surface energy. The most common types of metal nanoparticles include silver, gold, palladium, titanium, zinc, and copper nanoparticles. Nanocomposite is a multiphase solid material where one of the phases has one, two or three dimensions of less than 100 nanometers (nm) or structures having nano-scale repeat distances between the different phases that make up the material.

Nanoengineered devicesThe field of nanoengineering is expected to revolutionize technology and improve quality of life, particularly as related to energy, environment, and health. Students will achieve an understanding of the fundamental advantages in nanoscale materials, devices and systems.

Nanotechnology in Drug deliveryNanoparticles can be made by altering the method of fabrication. Nanoparticles have been proven to be useful as drug delivery vehicles. Many uses for nanoparticulate drug delivery systems exist, including gene therapy, cancer therapy, AIDS therapy, and radiation.

Microtechnology and Nanorobotics Microtechnology is technology whose features have dimensions of the order of one micrometre (one millionth of a metre, or 10−6 metre, or 1μm). It focuses on physical and chemical processes as well as the production or manipulation of structures with one-micrometre magnitude. Nanorobots are mainly used for medical purposes such as drug delivery and surgical procedures. They can also be used for environmental monitoring and industrial applications. On the other hand, nanotechnology is being used in various fields including electronics, energy production and medicine.

Nanotoxicology and NanopharmaceuticsNanotoxicology is the study of the toxicity of nanomaterials. Because of quantum size effects and large surface area to volume ratio, nanomaterials have unique properties compared with their larger counterparts that affect their toxicity. Pharmacology, Toxicology and Pharmaceutical Science. Nanopharmaceutics, can be defined as nanoparticles that aim to transport substances to the body, tissues, and cells, improving therapeutic efficacy and reducing the toxic effect of the substances carried.

Materials Science-Fundamentals & Characterization Characterization, when used in materials science, refers to the broad and general process by which a material's structure and properties are probed and measured. It is a fundamental process in the field of materials science, without which no scientific understanding of engineering materials could be ascertained.

Materials-Environment Interactions, Green Energy The environmental problems directly related to energy production and consumption include air pollution, climate change, water pollution, thermal pollution, and solid waste disposal. The emission of air pollutants from fossil fuel combustion is the major cause of urban air pollution.

Mining and Metallurgy Metallurgy focuses on the study of metals, while Mining Engineering focuses on the extraction of minerals. Metallurgy graduates can pursue manufacturing, automotive, aerospace, and defence careers, while Mining Engineering graduates can work in the mining, oil and gas, and geology industries.

Advancements in Materials Science The term 'advanced materials' refers to the modification of existing materials or the creation of new ones to achieve superior performance. The materials can be structural and functional, inorganic, organic or inorganic-organic hybrids. From a material science perspective, it is indisputable that machine learning and artificial intelligence offer a potent toolkit with the potential to substantially accelerate research efforts in areas such as the development and discovery of new functional materials.

Biomaterials and Tissue Engineering Biomaterials serve as an integral component of tissue engineering. They are designed to provide architectural framework reminiscent of native extracellular matrix in order to encourage cell growth and eventual tissue regeneration.

Biophotonics is essentially the use of optical or photonic means to examine, to track, and perhaps to control a biological process, at various levels of significant biology: molecular, cel- lular, tissue, and organismal level. the biphotonic technology has emerged as a powerful tool for addressing important bond activations or electron transfer processes in organic synthesis under mild conditions and using lower-energy visible light.
