Abstract

Nanoscience represents a frontier in scientific research, offering transformative solutions to global challenges by manipulating materials at the atomic and molecular scales. The integration of nanotechnology into various sectors has significantly advanced sustainable development initiatives, particularly in healthcare, energy, agriculture, and environmental remediation. In the biomedical field, nanomaterials facilitate targeted drug delivery systems, enhance diagnostic precision, and support to the development of regenerative therapies. In the energy sector, nanotechnology has been instrumental in improving the efficiency of photovoltaic cell, enhancing battery performance, and optimizing hydrogen storage, thereby promoting sustainable and cleaner energy alternatives. In agriculture, nanoscale fertilizers and pesticides improve nutrient uptake and pest control while mitigating environmental contamination. Furthermore, nanomaterials play a pivotal role in water purification systems, pollutant remediation, and carbon capture technologies, addressing critical ecological concerns. Despite these advancements, the widespread application of nanotechnology necessitates rigorous evaluation of nanotoxicity, environmental risks, and ethical implications, underscoring the importance of regulatory frameworks for responsible innovation. This review elucidates the potential of nanoscience in fostering sustainability and explores future trajectories for its integration into global development strategies.
