Critical Casimir forces can play an important role for applications in nano-science and nano-technology, owing to their piconewton strength, nanometric action range, fine tunability as a function of temperature, and exquisite dependence on the surface properties of the involved objects.

Nano technology is the multi disciplinary science and technology, which has emerged as new science exploiting specific phenomena and direct manipulation of materials on nanoscale. Nanotechnology deals with the physical, chemical, and biological properties of structures and their parts at nanoscale dimensions. It's established on the concept by creating functional structures by controlling corpuscles and molecules on a one-by-one basis by different physical and chemical synthesis methods. Developments in materials science and, nano biotechnology is especially forestalled to provide elevates in dental sciences and initiations in oral health-related diagnostic and therapeutical methods. Keywords: Nano Science, dentistry, Nanocomposite, Nanorobots, Nanomaterials.

The branches of science like Nano medicine, Nano technology, Nano chemistry and Nano science are a few of those departments that have the word 'nano' in their name and were frequently published in books and journals and became familiar to the public and the research professionals too. It was an emerging science in the 20th century and is the trend currently. It is not a single isolated technique or method that is applicable in one field, but it is multi-dimensional and is applied in various fields considering the advantages. Its arena ranges from the synthesis, designs, large scale production and potential application of nano-sized materials. They are the systems of a matrix of drug carriers that are uniformly dispersed in the polymeric membranes. This review concentrates on the methods of preparation of nano particles, evaluation methods, advantages and applications of nano particles in medicine. Nanotechnology mostly provides better drug delivery in order to transfer into the smaller parts of the body. This is mostly implemented to enter the ultrathin areas in the body. So, the drugs such as genetic medicine can easily permeated into the cell walls to produce maximum growth within a few more years. The doctors are paid by the patients. The patients who are receiving this therapy shows better bioavailability, decreased drug toxicity, lesser cost of treatment, and extend the life of proprietary drugs.

This article, which is concerned with computational Nanoscience and Nanotechnology (CN&N) at first, presents an overview of CN&N from historical perspective, benefits and concerns. It then discusses the place of mathematics visà-vis other areas of science and technology (including CN&N), and then presents numerous technologies (including nano-technology) that would not exist today without mathematics. Finally we exhibit some mathematical techniques used in CN&N and briefly points the way forward.

AbstractCritical Casimir forces emerge between objects, such as colloidal particles, whenever their surfaces spatially confine the fluctuations of the order parameter of a critical liquid used as a solvent. These forces act at short but microscopically large distances between these objects, reaching often hundreds of nanometers. Keeping colloids at such distances is a major experimental challenge, which can be addressed by the means of optical tweezers. Here, we review how optical tweezers have been successfully used to quantitatively study critical Casimir forces acting on particles in suspensions. As we will see, the use of optical tweezers to experimentally study critical Casimir forces can play a crucial role in developing nano-technologies, representing an innovative way to realize self-assembled devices at the nano- and microscale.
