Its not an Avengers Movie Indeed, but the global threat lies on head of whole humanity and Nano tech, is indeed not a science fiction .
But before going further deep . let’s see what nano-tech is….

What is Nanotechnology?

Nanotechnology is science, engineering, and technology conducted at the nano scale, which is about 1 to 100 nano meters.

Physicist Richard Feynman, the father of nanotechnology.

Nano science and nanotechnology are the study and application of extremely small things and can be used across all the other science fields, such as chemistry, biology, physics, materials science, and engineering.

NANOTECHNOLOGY IN BATTLE AGAINST CORONA VIRUS

The rapidly increasing death tolls of COVID-19 have been a wake-up call for global health. Many researchers have recently turned their focus to this growing threat and a global effort is underway to halt its spread. Currently, there is no specific antiviral treatment available for COVID-19, but a wide range of pharmaceutical agents are being investigated. Meanwhile, among various fields of science and technology, nanotechnology has great potential to be of enormous help in the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of COVID-19.
