Categorization approaches have been effectively applied to chemicals, and many have tried to apply variations of these approaches to nanomaterials. Given the added complexities of nanomaterials, this has been challenging. International…

In this paper, categorization of nanomaterials is examined from four perspectives; context, criteria for success, ensuring measurements are relevant, and the life cycle of a nanomaterial. For each perspective, its relevance to…

Throughout the evolution of biological species on Earth, cells and organs have developed many complex structures and processes to ensure their interactions with individual chemical molecules (small and macromolecular) and nanoscale objects…

Nanotechnology is a so-called key-emerging technology that opens a new world of technological innovation. The novelty of engineered nanomaterials (ENMs) raises concern over their possible adverse effect to man and the environment.…

One of the breakthrough areas of physical science over the past decade has been research in the field of nanostructured materials of various substances, almost all of the properties of which differ sharply from the properties of macroscopic…

Nanotechnology has emerged as a broad, exciting, yet ill-defined field of scientific research and technological innovation. There are important questions about the technology's potential economic, social, and environmental implications. We…

Nanotechnologies are attracting increasing investments from both governments and industries around the world, which offers great opportunities to explore the new emerging nanodevices, such as the Carbon Nanotube and Nanosensors. This…

The small world of matter is getting smaller and smaller. Nano sciences in recent years had huge developments allowing nanotechnologies to take enormous steps in the development of materials and processes. Numerous applications in a wide…

Quantum nanosystems are exremely diverse and often very complicated. That is why new methods of a simple description of such systems ensuring the retention of essential part of information at small numbers of parameters are needed. We…

The nanophysics is halfway between the size scales of quantum mechanics and macroscopic physics governed by the laws of Newton and Einstein. The correct definition of nanophysics is the physics of structures and artefacts with dimensions in…

Manufacturing materials and systems with components thousands of times smaller than the width of a human hair promises vast and sometimes unimaginable advances in technology. Yet the term nanotechnology has formed as much from people's…

Nanomaterials possess a wide range of potential applications due to their novel properties compared to bulk matter, but these same properties may represent an unknown risk to health. Experimental safety testing cannot keep pace with the…

The outstanding multidisciplinary applicability of nanomaterials has paved the path for the rapid advancement of nanoscience during the last few decades. Such technological progress subsequently results in an inevitable environmental…

Nature hosts a wealth of materials showcasing intricate structures intertwining order, disorder, and hierarchy, delivering resilient multifunctionality surpassing perfect crystals or simplistic disordered materials. The engineering of such…

Scenario planning may assist us in harnessing the benefits of nanotechnology and managing the associated risks for the good of the society. Scenario planning is a way to describe the present state of the world and develop several hypotheses…

The structural investigations of nanomaterials motivated by their large variety and diverse set of applications have attracted considerable attention. In particular, the ever-improving machinery, both in laboratory and at large scale…

Advances in machine learning have impacted myriad areas of materials science, ranging from the discovery of novel materials to the improvement of molecular simulations, with likely many more important developments to come. Given the rapid…

While material innovation can enable sustainable development, environmental and social impacts of emerging materials are often assessed only after design choices are "locked in." Here, we argue for a shift in perspective: life cycle…

Plastic pollution presents an escalating global issue, impacting health and environmental systems, with micro- and nanoplastics found across mediums from potable water to air. Traditional methods for studying these contaminants are…

While the uptake of data-driven approaches for materials science and chemistry is at an exciting, early stage, to realise the true potential of machine learning models for successful scientific discovery, they must have qualities beyond…
