Abstract

Numerous interdisciplinary fields, including nanomedicine, diagnostics, and nanotheranostics, have seen the extensive use of nanotechnology in biomedical engineering. This chapter will give a quick overview of nanotechnology's role as a tool that facilitates the creation of novel functional materials and medical devices here. Quantum dots, or semiconductor nanocrystals, are widely utilized in optical imaging for the diagnosis of conditions like cancer. Nanomaterials have potential applications as treatments and as preventative antiviral/antibacterial agents. In a similar vein, some nanomaterials have demonstrated the ability to circumvent the limitations of traditional antiviral medications. However, it's becoming more important to evaluate the negative impacts and toxicities of nanoparticles in medicine and treatments. The importance of nanoparticles in combating coronavirus disease is highlighted in this article's conversation of the most recent advancement in nanomaterials.
