Nanoparticle research, has the capacity to profoundly affect mankind’s future. By carefully researching nanoparticle elements into their smallest components and then engineering these particles to achieve different functions, researchers can dramatically enhance everything from delicate electronics to life-saving medical techniques.
However, critics warn that we need to test and re-test all the effects that various nanoparticles can have on the human body before releasing them in wide numbers as the main components of common products that will come into contact with humans several times a day. Given the latest in nanoparticle research for safety, they may be right.
