Abstract

Human dreams and imagination often give birth to new science and technology. Nanotechnology, the frontier of the 21st century, was born from such dreams. Nanotechnology is defined as the production and control of matter between 1 and 100 nanometers in which unique phenomena enable new applications such as drug delivery, pollution monitoring sensors, solar cells and biodegradable polymers. In a span of almost half a century, nanotechnology has become the foundation of industrial progress. Therefore, research and development in this field, workforce development, education and curriculum planning are an integral part of the progress process in the field of nanotechnology, which should be given more attention. It is clear that students are the future builders of society and its social capital, it is essential to familiarize this segment of society with the basic concepts of new and important technologies from the early years of knowledge acquisition. In this article, an attempt has been made to explain the concepts related to nanomaterials, their applications and the latest findings in simple and understandable expression for students.
