Application of Nanotechnology in Biomedical Engineering and the Road towards Scientific Wisdom, Ingenuity and Vision

Human civilization, science and technology are today in the midst of deep scientific introspection, travails, trials and tribulations. Environmental catastrophes, disasters, global warming, and climate change are veritably threatening the human planet. Rapid industrialization and progress of industry are ravaging the human planet. Thus, the need of environmental and energy sustainability and the application areas of newer innovations such as nanotechnology in drinking water as well as industrial wastewater treatment. There is an absolute need of biomedical engineering in the futuristic vision of global science and technology. Nanotechnology, nanomaterials and engineered nanomaterials are the veritable finesse of global science and technology today. In this article, the author deeply contemplates the vast and varied applications of nanotechnology in biomedical engineering and the vast world of biotechnology. Surely a newer dawn in human civilization will emerge if there are concerted efforts from academicians, researchers, policy makers and civil society across the globe. Engineered nanomaterials and other application areas of nanotechnology are today in the process of deep scientific and engineering rejuvenation. In this article the author deeply contemplates the needs of conventional and non-conventional environmental engineering techniques in the true futuristic emancipation of chemical process engineering, biomedical engineering and biotechnology. The authors deeply discuss the areas of application of biomedical engineering in water and wastewater treatment. Also, the vast and varied applications of nanomaterials such as graphenes, fullerenes and carbon tubes in biomedical engineering are discussed with lucid insight.
