متن کاملNanomaterials for Environmental Toxin Detection: Promises and Challenges
Abstract: By 2025, when world population is projected to be 8 billion, improving living standards without destroying the environment is a global challenge. Contamination of the environment with pathogens and heavy metal ions has been an important concern throughout the world for decades. Development of sensors for real-time detection of toxic metals and bacterial contamination in water supplies...
متن کاملEnergy-related nanomaterials
The triple “generation, conversion and storage of energy” are the fundamental building blocks toward realizing the general aim of an energy supply on demand as unrestricted as possible. Meanwhile, however, it has become clear that this general aim leads to conflicting feedback loops on the ecological environment. Growing awareness of such deteriorating feedbacks has triggered worldwide activiti...
