Introduction
Nanotechnology—the manipulation of matter at the atomic and molecular scale—is poised to revolutionise numerous industries. By leveraging materials and structures at the nanometre scale (one-billionth of a metre), scientists and engineers are unlocking unprecedented potential in medicine, materials science, electronics, and space exploration.
The exponential advancements in this field signify a shift toward precision-engineered therapies, self-sustaining materials, and energy-efficient solutions. India, with its growing research and development ecosystem, is actively contributing to this transformation. From targeted cancer treatments using nanomedicine to nano-engineered water purification systems for rural communities, the impact of nanotechnology is profound and far-reaching.
