Everything which is powerful has the risk to be dangerous, also it (nanotech) is slow paced. People may have sparkling word for the bright future or so, but we should realistically understand what we actually do, what our mentality is and what we are capable of. Nanotechnology will improve certain domain like water purification, delivery of medicine, that's the specialty of nanotechnology.

It domains now...........

Ok, there are many products in the market based on the nano particles and structures, but it does not domain today what about the environmental pollutions and health effects, by the way most nano particles are classified as toxic materials.

A lot of nanotechnology is just an application of existing science (e.g., colloid science). It is evident from many questions and answers on RG that the original sciences are not understood by the new wave of nanotechnologists. Without this understanding, the underlying science may be applied in a harmful or ineffective way instead of beneficial.

It certainly will not solve the world problems. Some, yes. Most, probably not. All, no.

Dear John Francis Miller

Thanks for your feedback.

Yes, I believe strongly based on costs, how fast the technology is impacting today.

Dear Kwasi Opoku Boadu

I agree with you that nanotechnology is fast growing today, but do people accept using products based in nanoparticles? What is its side effect? What is its environmental effect? I really need answers to these questions.

Best regards

Yes, nanotechnology will solve the problems that have caused the release of the drug in the body. Today , the absorption of drugs is an important problemthat need to be resolved through nanotechnology when the benefits at the cellular level will be impressive. The pharmacokinetic parameters will be significantly improved especially at the minimum effective concentration level. The dose control need to be done for achieving maximum concentration.and controlling the undesirable effects, I think. ADE with dose control can be minimized, but this technology provides more benefits than risks

It is a very ambitious statement that nanotechnology will solve all the problems of the world in the future. I don't think this claim is true. It can solve some of the problems, but all is impossible.

Dear Ilhami Unluoglu

I fully agree with you, and this is my opinion.

I think it is too early to answer the full version to this question. But, a nano-revolution is coming up - no doubt!

It could be

I don't think so. But I am not pessimistic about its strengths, opportunities and future potentialities.

Nanotechnology cannot solve ALL the future world problems in isolation. But I do believe that coupled with all other good options, technologies, good wishes, vision, and above all, the positive management in a holistic way can definitely do the wonders.

Interesting discussion! Following

Thanks to all answerers, could you tell me about the health effects of nanotechnology? And how can we avoid these effects?

In a word, “No”. Although there will be great advances, there are definitely unintended consequences we have yet to discover.

Dear Solanki Bal

Thanks, I agree with you that there are some disadvantages of nanotechnology. There are some health risks but the researches for disadvantages and health effects and risks are not enough and not clear.

The disadvantages that need to be monitored I think are the time when is reached Cmax and the level e minimum toxic concentration due to the absorption changes rate

No all technology create environmental problems

It is itself future.

Nanotechnology can be a big breakthrough in cancer treatment . Its effect already well proven in wound healing.

We have to be optimistic and already drug delivery systems are in use in nanomedicine as well as in medical imaging, cell mapping, diagnosis and treatment of diseases nanotechnology is very much used. In water filtration nanosilver by virtue of its antibacterial properties is a representative example. Further nanotechnology has touched upon every walk of life. R &D efforts are continuously underway to explore new possibilities to change the quality of life.

Dear Shrikaant Kulkarni

Thanks for your feedback, but can we remove the nanoparticles from the human body after healing the cancer or the drug delivery?

Thanks to all answers, nanoparticles alone cannot treat the cancer, laser is needed in the procedure, in reality, the laser itself destroys the cancer cell, the role of nanoparticles is to restrict the heat of laser on the small area. Kindly, I need feedback for this point.

Nanotechnology research in Europe can contribute to solving future needs for energy technologies, especially in new generations of solar photovoltaics, the hydrogen economy, more efficient conventional energy production and energy saving for industry as well as consumers.
