Abstract:
Nanoparticles are highly fascinating technologically and are fundamentally important particles due to their large
surface area in relation to their volume. They provide numerous advantages in their application to the life- and envi-
ronmental-sciences consequent to their particle size (1-100 nm), which can be smaller than the size of a virus;
thereby allowing them to potentially strongly adhere to surfactant and other biological materials. In this regard, na-
noparticles represent promising agents for attaching biological entities to without changing their functions. There
are numerous areas across the sciences where these engineered particles could be hugely beneficial; many of them
inadequately explored. To aid understand the fuller potential and efficacies of these particles, more research is
needed, and the results are brought into the limelight to allow them to be more fully and rapidly applied. Their eval-
uation in the areas of anticancer, antimicrobial, antiviral, anti-carcinogenic, sensory agents with newer techniques,
and environmental applications encouraged.
