Advantages and Disadvantages of Nanotechnology

Advantage: 
  • Can detect some diseases in their early stages.
  • Can help cleanup existing pollution in the air
  • Nano constructed materials can reduce the amount of energy used in a vehicle   
Disadvantages
  • More research and development need to be done
  • Nanomaterials are not regulated by the government
  • Some nanoparticals may be toxic to humans

  1. Thank you for pointing out the best advantages and disadvantages. I think the best advantage is that it can improve many things that affect our life. For e.g. the graphene can improve the capacity of batteries. It is a really good nanomaterial.
