  How nanomaterials are showing their toxicity in daily life? Nanotoxicology is the investigation of the poisonousness of nanomaterials. Due to quantum size impacts and enormous surface territory to volume proportion, nanomaterials have remarkable properties contrasted and their bigger partners that influence their poisonousness. Of the potential risks, inward breath openness seems to introduce the most worry, with creature contemplates showing pneumonic impacts like irritation, fibrosis , and cancer-causing nature for some nanomaterials. Skin contact and ingestion openness are additionally a worry. The most frequently encountered nanomaterials in our daily life include:             Zinc oxide nanoparticles       Titanium dioxide nanoparticles            Silica nanoparticles            Silver nanoparticles           Gold nanoparticles   ...

  What is the role of Nanotechnology in medical diagnostics? Nanotechnology is increasingly used in the field of diagnostics, imaging and targeted drug delivery system. Nanotechnology techniques have been applied to therapeutic purposes too. For instance, nanoparticle-based delivery system have been created to protect drugs from degradation, thereby reducing the required dose and dose frequency, improving patient comfort and convenience during treatment, and decreasing treatment costs. Nanotechnology based medical diagnosis techniques under development             Gold nanoparticles to develop a quick diagnostic test for Covid-19.      Silver-plated gold nanostars in a sensor to detect RNA molecules that are early indicators of cancer.        Nano sized exosomes to check for biomarkers demonstrating pancreatic malignancy.       Nanopore sensors with artificial intelligence techniques and showed ...
