Microchemistry; The beginning of the Nano storm in the world!

Microscale Chemistry (often referred to as small-scale chemistry, in German: Chemie im Mikromaßstab) is an analytical method and also a teaching method widely used at school and at university levels, working with small quantities of chemical substances. While much of traditional chemistry teaching centers on multi-gramme preparations, milligrams of substances are sufficient for micro scale chemistry. In universities, modern and expensive lab glassware is used and modern methods for detection and characterization of the produced substances are very common. In schools and in many countries of the Southern hemisphere, small-scale working takes place with low-cost and even no-cost material. There has always been a place for small-scale working in qualitative analysis, but the new developments can encompass much of chemistry a student is likely to meet.
Micro-chemical chip is several-centimeter squared glass substrate with channels of few tens to few hundreds micrometer. Chemical manipulations such as mixing, reaction, separation, detection and synthesis can take place in the minute sections of each channel. When chemical processes shift from laboratories and factories to a micro-chemical chip, energy and space is used much more effective. By using the Integrated Chemistry Lab (ICL), an expectation rises to enhance technological advancement.
Nanotechnology is already making new materials available that could revolutionize many areas of manufacturing. For example, nanotubes and Nano particles, which are tubes and particles only a few atoms across, and aerogels, materials composed of very light and strong materials with remarkable insulating properties, could pave the way for new techniques and superior products. In addition, robots that are only a few nanometers in length, called Nano-bots, and Nano-factories could help construct novel materials and objects.
In 2021, MIT's Department of Materials Science and Engineering (DMSE) announced that they have developed a new class of artificially created 2D molecules that spontaneously assemble Nano-ribbons that are stronger than steel. Previous attempts to create Nano-ribbons had always been dependent on biological processes which would break down over time. These new molecules don't break down, even when they are outside of water. Nanotechnology may transform the ways in which we obtain and use energy. In particular, it's likely that nanotechnology will make solar power more economical by reducing the cost of constructing solar panels and related equipment. Energy storage devices will become more efficient as a result. Nanotechnology will also open up new methods of generating and storing energy.
The field of electronics is set to be revolutionized by nanotechnology. Quantum dots, for example, are tiny light-producing cells that could be used for illumination or for purposes such as display screens. Silicon chips can already contain millions of components, but the technology is reaching its limit; at a certain point, circuits become so small that if a molecule is out of place the circuit won't work properly. Nanotechnology will allow circuits to be constructed very accurately on an atomic level. Nanotechnology has the potential to bring major advances in medicine. Nanobots could be sent into a patient's arteries to clear away blockages. Surgeries could become much faster and more accurate. Injuries could be repaired cell-by-cell. It may even become possible to heal genetic conditions by fixing the damaged genes. Nanotechnology could also be used to refine drug production, tailoring drugs at a molecular level to make them more effective and reduce side effects.
In 2021, Nonwoven News reported that researchers at the University of Rhode Island have developed a smart bandage that can detect and monitor an infection in wounds using single-walled carbon nanotubes. The nanotubes can identify infections by detecting concentrations of hydrogen peroxide. The bandage is monitored wirelessly with a miniature wearable device, and transmitted to a smartphone to alert the patient or a health care provider when an infection is detected. Some of the more extravagant negative future scenarios have been debunked by experts in nanotechnology. For example: the so-called "gray goo" scenario, where self-replicating Nano-bots consume everything around them to make copies of themselves, was once widely discussed but is no longer considered to be a credible threat. It is possible, however, that there will be some negative effects on the environment as potential new toxins and pollutants may be created by nanotechnology.
It is likely that nanotechnology, like other technologies before it, will cause major changes in many economic areas. Although products made possible by nanotechnology will initially be expensive luxury or specialist items, once availability increases, more and more markets will feel the impact. Some technologies and materials may become obsolete, leading to companies specializing in those areas going out of business. Changes in manufacturing processes brought about by nanotechnology may result in job losses. Nanotechnology raises the possibility of microscopic recording devices, which would be virtually undetectable. More seriously, it is possible that nanotechnology could be weaponized. Atomic weapons would be easier to create and novel weapons might also be developed. One possibility is the so-called "smart bullet," a computerized bullet that could be controlled and aimed very accurately. These developments may prove a boon for the military; but if they fell into the wrong hands, the consequences would be dire.
