JAN - FEB - 20206 Rachel SmithManaging EditorNanotechnology: The Future is BrightThe emerging field of nanotechnology has long been thought of as obscure, if not even a little scary. However, nanotech is proving its potential across different sectors, causing businesses to think about how their organisation could benefit from miniscule machines and materials.Using nanoscale carrier systems, drugs can be delivered in a much more targeted and efficient way. Nanomedicine combines chemical and mechanical properties to help patients and practictioners, seeking to manufacture drugs that reach the intended area much faster than traditional injections or pills. Unlike existing medicines, nanoparticles can cross certain biological barriers within the body. Further, Nanoparticles for chemotherapy drug carriers have made some of the greatest advancements in cancer treatment. By using nanocarriers to treat patients, treatments can focus on targeting cancerous cells and limit the damage to healthy cells. Also, Nanotechnology applications for early disease detection are gaining a significant amount of traction and attention. Essentially, scientists are exploring the use of nanoparticles to raise a warning or "biomarker" if a cancerous tumor or other disease is found.On the energy storage front, nanotechnology has the potential to improve solar energy efficiency and reduce costs. Given the multidisciplinary nature of nanotechnology, the private sector now faces a doubt as to where it should be investing in this field. Shown below are the possible scenarios that FTF experts have identified for the different industries in the short and medium term, depending on the impact of nanotechnology. Over the next five years, the industry most likely to head the field is materials, in view of the applications they will find in most other sectors. Electronics and telecommunications, energy, products, pharmaceuticals and areas related to other raw materials will also be important.This edition is aimed at injecting readers with insights from industry leaders and key disruptors to bring out a comprehensive picture of the nanotechnology arena and the recent developments in this field.Let us know your thoughts.Copyright © 2020 ValleyMedia Inc.
