Nanotechnology refers to the design, study, manipulation, application, and synthesis of functional devices, materials, and systems through the process of control of matter (Salamanca-Buentello et al., 2005). This form of technology can be harnessed to address the most crucial world’s problems related to development. It is, however, unfortunate that the applications of nanotechnology have not been systematically prioritized to address the challenges that most developing counties across the world face every day. Proponents of this form of technology anticipate that it will provide solutions to critical challenges that face developing countries and less developed countries.

However, the assumption has been falsified by Bauer (1972, 2000) as in his view, foreign aid does not contribute towards economic alleviation of any poor country; rather it prevents any ...

Ionized plasma devices such as neon lights and plasma TVs can not only sterilize water but also enable it to kill bacteria for nearly a week after treatment, (Science daily 2011). Plasma is ionized gas (atoms have reduced number of electrons). In water, ionized plasma reacts with oxygen to form Ozone (ionized oxygen) which destroys most viruses and nearly all bacteria. Expensive sterilization methods such as bleach and antibiotics hinder the provision of quality healthcare in developing countries. Devices able to ionize plasma hold the solution to cheap sterilizing for the developing world.

Use of ionized plasma reduces chances of ...

The nanotechnology is used in baseball bats, solar panels, motorcycle, luggage, and power tools. The nanotechnology designs the products in nanoscale. The nanotechnology is being implemented in various technologies. Nanotechnology is ...

One of the key processes of the world economy on the brink of the XX-XXI centuries is progressing globalization, i.e. a qualitatively new stage in the development of the internationalization of economic life.
