Most are probably too young to remember but nanotechnology was supposed to be the most super amazing thing ever.
Totally replaced by the most super amazing AI ever
People imagine nano bots like the movies. My guess is, science kept going while the buzzwords eroded away.
Some contemporary applications of nanotechnology are in medicine, for example, more biocompatible nanoparticules used as carriers for more targeted delivery of things like drugs, chemotherapy or gene therapy. Others are in material science - engineering fabrics for specialized applications. QLED TVs use quantum dot technology, which operates at nanoscale.
It’s still going. The media just got bored of it and scammers use different techniques now
You ever heard of Gecko tape? Aka Alien tape? aka Nano tape? Nano tape bubbles were trending on TikTok not long ago… Well guess what… It’s carbon nano tubes!
They renamed it to Microplastics.
