Nanoparticles are particles with at least one dimension in the nanometer range, typically between 1 and 100 nanometers, whose extremely small size gives them physical, chemical, and optical properties that differ markedly from those of the same materials in bulk. Their high surface-area-to-volume ratio, enhanced reactivity, and size-dependent behavior make nanoparticles valuable across many fields, including medicine, materials science, energy, and environmental technology. Key aspects of the topic include the synthesis and characterization of metallic, oxide, and composite nanoparticles; their biomedical applications in drug delivery, diagnostics, and cancer therapy; their toxicity and biocompatibility; and their use in nanofluids, coatings, and advanced composites. Because nanoparticles can interact with biological systems in unique ways, research also examines both their therapeutic potential and their possible harmful effects on tissues and organs. The journal publishes work spanning these dimensions, including studies of metal nanoparticles for cancer-cell elimination, the cytotoxic and apoptotic activity of silver nanoparticles on cell lines, the effects of zinc oxide nanoparticles on liver structure and protective interventions, the use of nanotechnology in red-blood-cell preservation, nanoparticle-based wound and bone healing, pH-sensitive nanomedicine for cancer treatment, gene-silencing with gold nanorods, and the behavior of nanofluids in convective flow and photovoltaic-thermal systems. This reflects the breadth of nanoparticle research across biomedical, materials, and engineering applications.
