Abstract

Nanotechnology is a relatively new field of study, but it is widely predicted to produce both technical solutions and commercially viable products in a wide range of fields. Nanotechnology's advancements indicate an ever more significant impact on human life. It refers to a collection of technologies that are being used in a wide range of existing industries, including electronics, materials, the environment, metrology, robotics, healthcare, information technology, pharmaceutics, agriculture, and transportation. These technologies primarily overlap in three areas: nanoelectronics, nanomaterials, and nanobiotechnology. In the eyes of many, nanotechnology is a relatively new science that has the potential to revolutionise the economy and enhance people's lives. There are a variety of ways that nanotechnology can be used in the life sciences; this overview outlines some of the more notable examples. This review focuses on the different types of nanomaterials used in the biological sciences like liposomes, dendrimers, carbon nanotubes, metal nanoparticles, and quantum dots. The impact of nanotechnology in the medical domain and its application are also discussed in brief.
