Bangladesh Takes First Steps Towards Nanotechnology

Dr. M.A. Asgar, a professor of physics at Bangladesh University of Engineering and Technology (BUET), says that BUET and the Bangladesh Atomic Energy Center have begun researching nanostructured magnetic materials with help from the international community. Asgar says that despite Bangladesh’s limited resources, “it is essential that developing countries take part in prospective new fields of research” so that they can reap the benefits of new developments. He highlights the possibility of nanotechnology addressing environmental and health issues through green manufacturing, alternative fuels, novel drug delivery systems, and biomedical sensors. Asgar predicts that nanotechnology’s current presence in the commercial market is only a fraction of what it will be in ten to twenty years. The article can be viewed online at the link below.
