Nanotechnology has many applications; to list a few:
- Development of new therapies and drugs to treat human diseases
- Cosmetics
- Food science (E.g., shelf-life extension)
- Electronics (E.g., build precise circuits)
- Solar panels that generate more energy
- Industry (E.g., creation of smart fabrics)
- Biofuels (E.g., cellulose conversion from wood chips, corn stalks, unfertilized perennial grasses for fuel).
- Environmental remediation (E.g., to clean industrial water pollutants)
- Transportation (E.g., lightweight, high-strength materials applied to vehicles).
