Nanomedicine and Nanomaterials

Nanotechnology in Energy and Environment

Nanotechnology is being utilized in a few applications to improve the climate and to deliver more proficient and cost effective energy, for example, creating less pollution during the manufacture of materials, delivering solar cells that produce power at a competetive cost, cleaning up natural synthetic substances polluting groundwater, and cleaning unpredictable organic compounds from air. Nanotechnological products, processes and applications are required to contribute essentially to ecological and climate protection by saving raw materials, energy and water as well as by reducing greenhouse gases and hazardous wastes.
