Nanotechnology

By Dr S Shanmugam

In the annals of Tamil Nadu's rich intellectual heritage, the "Thirukural" stands as a testament to the foresight of its people, envisioning the concept of molecular manufacturing millennia before the term nanotechnology was coined. This book, "Nanotechnology," draws inspiration from such ancient wisdom, charting the course of this cutting-edge field that manipulates matter at the atomic and molecular scale, ranging from 1 to 100 nanometers. It encapsulates the essence of a multidisciplinary science that has blossomed from the confluence of applied physics, materials science, chemistry, and engineering over the past fifty years.

With nanotechnology poised at the frontier of global research and innovation, expectations around it abound, marking it as an extension and evolution of existing scientific principles into the nanoscale. India, with its modest foray into this domain, stands at a pivotal moment, aspiring to carve a niche in the realms of Nanoscience and Nanotechnology. This book underscores the imperative for a strategic action plan to elevate India's stature in this field, highlighting the nascent integration of nanotechnology into the academic curriculum as a step towards this goal.

Written from the perspective of a seasoned nanomedicine researcher, this volume seeks to demystify nanotechnology for beginners while enriching the knowledge base of those already familiar with the field. It draws upon the author's experiences in nanomedicine and the application of nanotechnological principles in traditional Siddha Medicine, aiming to serve as a comprehensive guide for the Indian academic community. This book is an invitation to explore the confluence of ancient insights and modern molecular science, offering a pathway for students and teachers alike to navigate the complexities of nanotechnology in the Indian context and beyond.
