Discover Nanotechnology by Dr. Farah Khan, Dr. Shabnum Shaheen and Qaria Naeem, an accessible research book on one of the fastest-moving fields in modern science. Nanotechnology studies particles smaller than 100 nanometres and uses them to build materials and medicines that behave in ways ordinary matter cannot.
This book focuses on green nanotechnology — producing nanoparticles from plants rather than harsh artificial processes. The authors explain why plant-derived particles are cheaper, faster to make, far less toxic and kinder to the environment, and how they hold up against bacterial infection.
Written as an interdisciplinary introduction spanning chemistry, physics, biology and electronics, it covers the methodology of production, nanoparticles derived from different plants, and a wide survey of real applications: gold nanoshells used to find and treat cancer, liposomes as vaccine adjuvants and drug carriers, quantum dots for tracking medicines through the body, and nano-filled composites in dentistry.
A clear, practical starting point for students and researchers in the life sciences who want to understand where nanotechnology is actually being used today.
