Let\u2019s begin with what is Nanotechnology and why do we need to understand and focus on this.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Well\u2026 to begin with Nanotechnology is an emerging field of science dealing with substances or materials in the \u2018nano\u2019 or nanometer range. One nanometer is equal to 10<sup>-9 <\/sup>meter. From this, you can easily get an idea of the range of size of the particles dealt with in Nanotechnology. Nanotechnology basically deals with the methods of manipulating matter on an atomic or molecular level to invent something useful and innovative. It is diverse in nature and has a vast and broad range application in several other fields such as agriculture, medicine, electronics, biomaterials and other consumer based products such as nano robots.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Major Applications in the following fields include:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Electronics-Nanocircuits, Nanowires and NanoSensors.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Energy-Energy Source, Energy Conversion, Energy Storage and Energy Distribution.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Cosmetics-Skin Care and Hair Care.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Biomedical-Drug Delivery, Therapeutics,Diagnostics, Medical Materials and Implants, Analytical Tools and Instruments.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Defence-Military Vehicles, Military Clothes, Aeronautics and Satellites.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Food-Microemusions,Liposomes, nano-emulsions particles, fibers, and monolayers.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/yaabot.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/yaabot_n2.png\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazyload_inited aligncenter size-full wp-image-11851\" src=\"https:\/\/yaabot.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/yaabot_n2.png\" alt=\"yaabot_n2\" width=\"974\" height=\"677\" srcset=\"https:\/\/entropymag.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/yaabot_n2.png 974w, https:\/\/entropymag.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/yaabot_n2-300x209.png 300w, https:\/\/entropymag.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/yaabot_n2-768x534.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 974px) 100vw, 974px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">According to RNCOS, the global nanotechnology market has been witnessing a growth at a compound annual growth rate of around 19% during 2011-2013. And the nanotechnology industry is expected to maintain a similar growth rate in next year as well.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">RNCOS expects that the global market for nanotechnology based manufactured goods will be of worth $1.6 Trillion, representing a compound annual growth rate of around 50% during 2009-2013. This prospective growth will be largely driven by massive investment in nanotechnology R&amp;D and commercialization by both governments and corporates worldwide. In coming years, nanotechnology based products will have a huge impact on most of the industrial sectors and will enter the consumer market in large quantities.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">The world nanotechnology market is expected to exceed $30 billion by 2015. The global nanobiotechnology market is expected to hit the $6 billion mark in 2017. In 2012, India\u2019s Nanoscience &amp; Technology research output has catapulted the country to the fourth position in the world, behind China, USA and South Korea. Government R&amp;D laboratories and universities are the most prolific institutions, which are actively involved in high quality research related to this field.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">The reason behind this spurt in growth\u00a0is a mission on Nanoscience &amp; Technology (Nano Mission) was launched in May, 2007 by government of India to foster, promote and develop all aspects of Nanoscience and Nanotechnology which have the potential to benefit the country.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Nanosilver based products have already been rapidly commercialized worldwide. So it&#8217;s pretty much safe to conclude\u00a0that we are not far away from Nanobots or Nano robots. In fact, we&#8217;re pretty close.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/yaabot.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/yaabot_n3.png\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazyload_inited aligncenter size-full wp-image-11852\" src=\"https:\/\/yaabot.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/yaabot_n3.png\" alt=\"yaabot_n3\" width=\"771\" height=\"533\" srcset=\"https:\/\/entropymag.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/yaabot_n3.png 771w, https:\/\/entropymag.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/yaabot_n3-300x207.png 300w, https:\/\/entropymag.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/yaabot_n3-768x531.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 771px) 100vw, 771px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Before we address the aforementioned question, let\u2019s first try to answer this question and understand where we stand in the field of Nanotechnology.
