Abstract

Everything around us is made up of atoms and molecules. The properties of quantum atoms are sought to understand the behavior of a particular object. But with the advent of research, it was discovered that there is a quantity smaller than the molecular size. The nanoscale measures a fraction of a billionth of a meter. The atom of an object measures 0.1 nm. Since atoms are the building blocks of matter, at the nanoscale one can combine these atoms to create new materials. The proposed model displays the properties of these nano-scale elements in modern medical applications. The nano-scale research of matter is fascinating because it is the basic phase in which atoms are held together. Therefore, by manipulating material at this level, one can create many different types of objects. This proposed model calculates the operation requirements and expects the results. Based on the operational requirements, the proposed model provides the suggestions. This will be helpful for the medical researchers to identify the proper medical treatments based on the microbiological requirements.

1 Introduction

The utterance nano expresses to a fraction as a billionth of a gauge. It is smaller than the wavelength of light. Nanotechnology refers to all research related to manipulation at the nano-scale level. It has been found that the quantum properties of a nano-scale object differ from those of the atomic scale [1,2,3,4,5,6]. Beyth et al. [1] discussed that nano-scale materials are used for bulk applications. Nano-fillers are formed, which are used in solar cells to reduce their production cost. Nanotechnology has completed an important part to the area of bio-medical medication. In their study, Brahim et al. [2] examined the significance of nanotechnology in various areas, including tissue manufacturing, controlled drug release, and biosensor development. Nanoscale structures may be constructed with remarkable accuracy using methods like DNA nanotechnology and DNA origami, enabling the development of sophisticated DNA architectures and functioning nano-devices. Nanotechnology has aided the construction of synthetic DNA and the study of other nucleic acids. Brede and Labhasetwar [3] expressed the assembly of materials; this technology helped to shape well-formed molecules. New fabrication techniques such as nanolithography and atomic deposition were developed [4].

In the Casals et al. [5] emphasized the focus of nanotechnology studies on nano-scale materials. The science of manipulating material to create high performance is called nanotechnology and microprocessors are called nanoparticles. Chapman et al. [6] expressed that nanotechnology is used to produce pharmaceutical products it is referred to as nanomedicine. Nanotechnology is widely used to make electronic devices called nanoelectronics. The nanotechnology has two types of approaches – down-increase draw near and top-bottom draw near. Inside the downstream draw near, products are formed from small components that move toward larger components. Cheng et al. [7] discussed the top-down approach, nanomaterials are formed from large companies. DNA nanorobots, or DNA-based nanomachines, have been made possible thanks to advancements in nanotechnology. Targeted medication delivery, molecular sensing, and gene control are among a few of the biological functions that these nanoscale devices are intended to accomplish. DNA nanorobots provide unparalleled opportunities for progress in health and biotechnology due to their ability to exert fine-tuned control over molecular interactions. For many years, nanotechnology has provided the basic scientific foundation for nanotechnology, nanophotonics, and nanonomics, as well [8]. Nanophotonics is the study and application of nanoscale light-matter interactions. Using nanostructures and nanoscale materials to manipulate and control light is involved. Nanonomics examines nanotechnology’s economic effects. Nanotechnology impacts industry, healthcare, energy, and the environment. Therefore, research related to nanotechnology is very extensive, including organic chemistry, molecular biology, surface science, energy storage, molecular engineering, semiconductor physics, and micro-fabrication. The nanoscale is up to 1–100 nm. It is smaller than the micro-scale and larger than the atomic size [9,10,11]. It is important to have a strong background in many sciences as the research surrounding this technology encompasses various characteristics of the subject. It shows the different pace and growth that is occurring in the medical world [12]. Nanotechnology has played a crucial role in the development of nucleic acid sensors, which are essential for a variety of applications, such as disease diagnosis and environmental monitoring. Nanoscale materials, including nanowires, nanoparticles, and nanotubes, can be engineered to detect specific nucleic acid sequences with high sensitivity and selectivity, resulting in rapid and precise detection methods. Technology has taken it to the next level by diagnosing and treating a variety of more complex diseases. Thus, the development of the medical field is greatly beneficial to the people [13]. Nanotechnology has made significant contributions to the medical field, revolutionizing disease diagnostics, treatment strategies, and drug delivery systems. Nano-bots are the next generation of nano-machines [14]. They can sense and adapt to changes in their environment, make complex calculations, communicate, move actively, gather at the molecular level, repair, or procreate. Such advanced nanotechnologies have great potential for use in medicine [16]. These are machines that make it possible to control nanorobots. The craving to create nano-computers, the longing to make quantum-based computing, unlocks up never-ending potential for the use of nanotechnology in medication. Nanorobots, also known as nanobots or nanoscale robots, have a tremendous amount of potential to revolutionize medicine and healthcare. Some of the areas in which nanorobots could make a difference in these fields include targeted drug delivery, site-specific diagnostics, minimally invasive surgeries, microsurgery, and tissue engineering, biosensing and monitoring, cleaning, detoxification, and navigating the circulatory system [17].

At the nanoscale, the laws of quantum mechanics of matter are very different from its atomic level. For example, a substance that acts as an insulator in molecular form can act as a semiconductor during nano-scale fracture. At this level, the melting point of the material may in addition transform payable to the increase in shell region [18]. All the research surrounding nanotechnology today involves exploring these properties at the nanoscale and learning how to apply them to new applications [19,20,21,22]. The nanotechnology today refers to the science of creating products from the bottom up using the tools and technology available today to create high-performance products.

2 Proposed method

The proposed nanoscale molecular identifier (NSMI) makes it possible to create absolutely any substance by manipulating the individual atoms of matter shown in Figure 1. It will not only transform other technologies and defeat aging and disease but will also provide wonderful material wealth to mankind. In practice, nanotechnology solves the following important tasks in medicine, pharmaceuticals, and related fields:

  1. Creating solid bodies and surfaces with modified molecular structure. In practice, it can act as metals, mineral and organic compounds, nano-tubes, biologically compatible polymers (plastics), and other materials that mimic the tissues of organisms, drug delivery vehicles, or implants.

  2. Development of nano-container technologies for vector drug distribution.

  3. Synthesis of new chemical compounds by the formation of molecules without chemical reactions. Over the next 10–20 years, this will lead to the expansion of new medicine for the synthetics, pharmacists, and physicians “designing” based on a specific disease and a particular patient.

  4. Bio-similar: development of autoimmune (self-propagating) systems based on bacteria, viruses, and protozoa.

  5. Developing precision medical nano-manipulators and diagnostic devices.

Considering an atom as a detail, nanotechnologists develop methods to create objects with specific properties from these details. Many companies already know how to combine atoms and molecules into certain structures. Figure 2 shows modern observation for human body.
