Advances in medical applications: the quest of green nanomaterials

Nanotechnology emphasizes the use of specialized structures or materials at the nanoscale, which is defined as a size of 100 nm or less. Since the last few decades, nanotechnology and nanomaterials have developed significantly in many fields. Materials engineered to such a small scale are fascina...
