Abstract
Nanotechnology is a great innovation that is revolutionizing the agricultural practices. It is a science that works at the nanoscale and provides many benefits. In this review, the fundamental concepts of nanotechnology are clarified, focusing on its primary applications and a health and environment risk assessment especially in livestock production. There is currently a lack of reliable, cost-effective diagnostic tests for early detection of diseases in farmed livestock animals. Biosensing technologies have the potential to address these problems by developing innovative diagnostic tools for the rapid detection of key health threats within the agri-food livestock sector. It also allows for greater product innovation, with the creation of new food ingredients or supplements with nanoencapsulation or nanoemulsions, achieving a slow release of some composites, or perhaps obtaining healthier foods through the improvement of organoleptic properties in the product. Although nanotechnology provides many benefits, but as with all innovations, there are disadvantages and risks associated with its use. The risk assessment must take into account that the biokinetic profile and the toxicity in the target tissues can vary depending on which nanomaterial is being referred. A risk-benefit balance on the use of nanomaterials must be carried out, and in the majority of cases, though many people are open to the advancement, more information regarding the risks is required. Above all, it must be legally regulated to guarantee Agrofood safety in all products that have been manipulated using nanotechnology.

This document provides an overview of nanotechnology and various growth methods for nanostructures. It discusses that nanotechnology involves working at the molecular level to create structures with new properties. There are two main approaches for producing nanostructures: top-down, which makes smaller components from larger ones; and bottom-up, which builds complex structures from molecular components. Growth methods are classified by temperature as either high temperature (a few hundred degrees C), using methods like vapor-liquid-solid, or low temperature (less than 100 degrees C), which allows use of softer substrates. The document also notes how properties change at the nanoscale due to different dominant forces.
Plasmonics... A ladder to futuristic technology Pragya
Plasmonics is the study of plasma oscillations in metals. Plasmons are density waves in the electron gas in metals that are excited by light. They have shorter wavelengths than light and can propagate signals at the nanoscale. This allows for applications in nanophotonics like enhanced optical transmission and biosensing. Plasmons can be excited by coupling light to collective electron oscillations at metal surfaces or in nanostructures like nanoparticles. Metamaterials aim to control plasmons for applications such as cloaking, perfect lenses, and transformation optics. Plasmonics may lead to faster optoelectronic devices by transmitting data with plasmonic waves instead of electric currents.
This document provides an overview of nanoscience and nanotechnology. It defines nanoscience as the study of objects between 1-100 nm and discusses how properties change at the nanoscale level for physics, chemistry, biology and engineering. Examples of nanomaterials covered include nanoparticles, quantum dots, nanowires and their various properties. Synthesis methods like colloidal and thermal evaporation are also mentioned.
This document summarizes and compares different types of smart materials, including piezoelectric materials, shape memory alloys, and magnetostrictive materials. It discusses the driving forces, typical materials, advantages, and limitations of each. Piezoelectric materials are highlighted in more depth, including examples of applications such as speakers, motors, sensors, and medical ultrasound devices. Ceramic and polymer piezoelectric materials are also compared.
