Although the global agricultural nanotechnology market was valued at US$ 352.4 billion in 2023 and is estimated to reach US$ 868.9 billion by 2031, concerns about adverse environmental effects persist. This review summarizes the latest developments and perspectives of nanotechnology applied to agriculture, highlighting both advancements and potential impacts on soil ecosystems. However, concerns regarding regulatory measures, economic viability, and scalability hinder its widespread adoption. Collaboration among stakeholders is crucial to establishing effective frameworks for the safe and responsible application of nanotechnology in agriculture. Despite these concerns, nanotechnology holds great promise for addressing emerging challenges in agriculture and advancing toward more sustainable and efficient practices.</p> https://portal.research.lu.se/en/publications/0048dc34-7188-41c5-93c3-01e2b0820bc8 Soil Science Society of China 2025-02 eng food security nanoagrochemical nanofertilizer nanopesticide nanosensor smart agriculture sustainable yield Agricultural Science 1002-0160 85216524177 10.1016/j.pedsph.2024.09.005 http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.pedsph.2024.09.005 yes 35 1 20 32 13 https://www.scopus.com/pages/publications/85216524177 0048dc34-7188-41c5-93c3-01e2b0820bc8 2025-04-07T14:24:20+02:00 2025-10-14T10:28:56+02:00 2025-04-07T14:24:20+02:00 1 info:srw/schema/1/mods-v3.3xml book chapter published 1 Ana Nordberg author 67e49f96-0d7a-4344-9292-db57323dd10a Human Rights Law v1001500 department Human Rights Law research group Starting from a Global South perspective, this chapter presents a brief overview of the potential of nanotechnology to serve either as vehicle for broader attainability of human rights or to undermine current efforts. Particular attention is drawn to the complex interconnected issues of ensuring even access to the benefits of technological development and the need to maintain adequate levels of economic incentive to innovation. The present chapter begins with a short characterization of nanotechnology followed by the description of the current key fields of scientific research, state of the art and expectations for the future. The second part explores the social and economic relevance of nanotechnology and its implication for the Global South. In the third part, social, ethical and legal aspects of nanotechnology are framed in terms of human rights issues. The fourth part devotes closer attention to an analysis of the current patent rules intended to safe keep accessibility while confronted with the new challenges brought by nanotechnology inventions. Throughout this chapter, it will be sustained that nanotechnology poses normative challenges implying the need to re-evaluate the functioning of exclusions, exceptions and limitations to patent rights as mechanisms for safekeeping accessibility. https://portal.research.lu.se/en/publications/318a37b2-8ff0-47d6-9738-00631ea85926 Ashgate 2013 eng Law Human rights Patent law Rättsvetenskap Mänskliga rättigheter Patenträtt Law 9781409442165 84901072059 313 332 20 https://www.scopus.com/pages/publications/84901072059 318a37b2-8ff0-47d6-9738-00631ea85926 2018-01-11T10:13:05+01:00 2025-10-14T12:45:37+02:00 2018-01-11T10:13:05+01:00 2 info:srw/schema/1/mods-v3.3xml journalArticle published yes 2 Gaston Heimeriks author Pierre Alexandre Balland author 9933a3ef-3b1c-482b-9297-0af83e374699 CIRCLE v1001228 department <p>To understand how the specialisation patterns of cities differ among scientific fields, we study patterns of knowledge production in Astrophysics, Biotechnology, Nanotechnology and Organic Chemistry in the period 1996-2012. Using keywords from journal publications, we find systematic differences across scientific fields, but remarkable similarities across cities within each field. Biotechnology shows a turbulent pattern with comparative advantages that are short lasting, and with few related topics are available for research locations. Astrophysics-and in later years Nanotechnology-show a pattern of stable rankings, comparative advantages that last longer, and many related topics potentially available for research locations. Organic Chemistry has an intermediate position. Thus, fields of knowledge production have fundamentally different characteristics that require different smart specialisation strategies taking into account the differences in accumulation and relatedness.</p> https://portal.research.lu.se/en/publications/45a20c1a-2f5e-409a-af7c-66d9a5495f8c Oxford University Press 2016-08-01 eng Innovation policy Path dependency Scientific knowledge dynamics Smart specialisation Other Social Sciences 0302-3427 84997769333 000393310000010 10.1093/scipol/scv061 http://dx.doi.org/10.1093/scipol/scv061 yes 43 4 562 574 13 https://www.scopus.com/pages/publications/84997769333 45a20c1a-2f5e-409a-af7c-66d9a5495f8c 2016-12-30T11:44:02+01:00 2026-04-21T19:15:37+02:00 2016-12-30T11:44:02+01:00 3 info:srw/schema/1/mods-v3.3xml book chapter published yes 5 Jagat Bhushan author Ruchi Singla author Swaty Jhamb author Kratika Chauhan author Aastha Sobti author f8b63937-7238-4411-9aa9-b0dadb975b2e Department of Immunotechnology v1000212 department <p>The primary purpose of research is to gather new knowledge or to collatethe existing data for further progression.

They were further prophesying that the machines' capacity would increase and be oil par with the human mind. Now, 50 years later, computers perform many more tasks than one could imagine in the 1950s but, virtually, no computer can do more than could the first digital computer, developed by John von Neumann in the 1940s. Computers still follow algorithms, they do not create them. However, the development of nanotechnology seems to have given rise to new hopes. With nanotechnology two things are Supposed to happen. Firstly, due to the small scale it will be possible to construct huge Computer memories which are supposed to be the precondition for building an artificial brain, secondly, nanotechnology will make it possible to scan the brain which in turn will make reverse engineering possible: the mind will be decoded by studying the brain. The consequence of such a belief is that the brain is no more than a calculator, i.e., all that the mind can do is in principle the results of arithmetical operations. Computers are equivalent to formal systems which in turn was an answer to an idea by Hilbert that proofs should contain ideal statements for which operations cannot be applied in a contentual way. The advocates of artificial intelligence will place content in a machine that is developed not only to be free of content but also cannot contain content. In this paper I argue that the hope for artificial intelligence is in vain https://portal.research.lu.se/en/publications/9aa97cc0-1c94-4654-a999-77ab1bf6f650 American Institute of Physics (AIP) 2008 2007-08-06 - 2007-08-11 eng Artificial intelligence linguistic complementarity mechanical system Turing machine semantics formal system Computer Sciences 1551-7616 0094-243X 1376266 000262094700025 57049091525 1051 283 292 https://www.scopus.com/pages/publications/57049091525 9aa97cc0-1c94-4654-a999-77ab1bf6f650 2016-04-01T11:48:32+02:00 2026-01-02T01:12:59+01:00 2016-04-01T11:48:32+02:00 5 info:srw/schema/1/mods-v3.3xml book chapter published yes 4 Ruth Rodríguez-Ramos author Álvaro Santana-Mayor author Bárbara Socas-Rodríguez author 78291ca1-8595-48f0-81fd-0b42cac02b37 Miguel Ángel Rodríguez-Delgado author Centre for Analysis and Synthesis v1000651 department <p>The great development of the food industry in the last few years and the increase of the global food trade have highlighted the importance of developing reliable safety assessment and the establishment of strict directives in order to assure its correct performance and the security of consumers.

Properties of nanoparticles that contribute to their usefulness include their markedly increased surface area in relation to mass, surface reactivity and insolubility, ability to agglomerate or change size in different media and enhanced endurance over conventional-scale substance. Here, we review nanoparticle classification and their emerging applications in several fields; from active food packaging to drug delivery and cancer research. Nanotechnology has exciting therapeutic applications, including novel drug delivery for the treatment of cancer. Additionally, we discuss that exposure to nanostructures incorporated to polymer composites, may result in potential human health risks. Therefore, the knowledge of processes, including absorption, distribution, metabolism and excretion, as well as careful toxicological assessment is critical in order to determine the effects of nanomaterials in humans and other biological systems. Expanding the knowledge of nanoparticle toxicity will facilitate designing of safer nanocomposites and their application in a beneficial manner. https://portal.research.lu.se/en/publications/66b044b0-2510-46de-8c25-524c8a1a69ec Elsevier 2016 eng Nano-technology http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/26969113?dopt=Abstract yes 1873-6351 8852574 26969113 84960427574 26969113 000375629200005 10.1016/j.fct.2016.03.003 http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.fct.2016.03.003 yes 91 May 42 57 https://www.scopus.com/pages/publications/84960427574 66b044b0-2510-46de-8c25-524c8a1a69ec 2016-04-01T13:01:03+02:00 2025-10-14T10:20:16+02:00 2016-04-01T13:01:03+02:00 8 info:srw/schema/1/mods-v3.3xml journalArticle published yes 4 Toqeer Ahmed author Muhammad Zeeshan Hyder author Irfan Liaqat author Miklas Scholz author c0810b21-af7f-4001-af0f-64d0810cb785 Division of Water Resources Engineering v1000225 department <p>Climate variability is highly impacting on mosquito-borne diseases causing malaria and dengue fever across the globe. Seasonal variability change in temperature and rainfall patterns are impacting on human health. Mosquitoes cause diseases like dengue fever, yellow fever, malaria, Chikungunya, West Nile and Japanese encephalitis. According to estimations by health organizations, annually one million human deaths are caused by vector-borne diseases, and dengue fever has increased about 30-fold over the past 50 years. Similarly, over 200 million cases of malaria are being reported annually. Mosquito-borne diseases are sensitive to temperature, humidity and seasonal variability. Both conventional (environmental, chemical, mechanical, biological etc.) and nanotechnology-based (Liposomes, nano-suspensions and polymer-based nanoparticles) approaches are used for the eradication of Malaria and dengue fever. Now green approaches are used to eradicate mosquitoes to save human health without harming the environment. In this review, the impact of climatic conditions on mosquito-borne diseases along with conventional and nanotechnology-based approaches used for controlling malaria and dengue fever have been discussed.

However, its application can have some problems with the development of harvests, especially during germination. This review evaluates nanoparticles with essential (Cu, Fe, Ni and Zn) and non-essential (Ag and Ti) elements on plant germination. In general, the effect of nanoparticles depends on several factors (dose, treatment time, application method, type of nanoparticle and plant). In addition, pH and ionic strength are relevant when applying nanoparticles to the soil. In the case of essential element nanoparticles, Fe nanoparticles show better results in improving nutrient uptake, improving germination, and the possibility of magnetic properties could favor their use in the removal of pollutants. In the case of Cu and Zn nanoparticles, they can be beneficial at low concentrations, while their excess presents toxicity and negatively affects germination. About nanoparticles of non-essential elements, both Ti and Ag nanoparticles can be helpful for nutrient uptake. However, their potential effects depend highly on the crop type, particle size and concentration. Overall, nanotechnology in agriculture is still in its early stages of development, and more research is needed to understand potential environmental and public health impacts.</p> https://portal.research.lu.se/en/publications/ee3d5d5a-79da-460b-8f30-d10f5771ebdf Elsevier 2023-10-01 eng Abiotic stress Ecotoxicology Nano-priming Nanofertilizers Plant amelioration Sustainable agriculture Nano-technology 0269-7491 85165617107 37482337 10.1016/j.envpol.2023.122222 http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.envpol.2023.122222 334 122222 https://www.scopus.com/pages/publications/85165617107 ee3d5d5a-79da-460b-8f30-d10f5771ebdf 2023-10-24T15:34:14+02:00 2026-06-03T10:47:20+02:00 2023-10-24T15:34:14+02:00 12 info:srw/schema/1/mods-v3.3xml conference paper published yes 1 Sahar Abdul Fattah Abood author 524b2912-c550-4aa0-8110-7b36cee36260 Heat Transfer v1000211 department 7 th Baltic Heat Transfer Conference Phase-change heat transfer enhancement is of critical importance to meet high cooling demands.

More theoretical and experimental efforts are needed as phase-change phenomenon on micro/nanostructures is very complicated due to the multiscale of the micro/nanostructures and the length-scale of the bubble dynamics https://portal.research.lu.se/en/publications/b6d4e84b-ac9a-4377-9314-715a808ca789 2015-07 2015-08-24 - 2015-08-26 Tallinn, Estonia eng Energy Engineering https://www.researchgate.net/publication/299538891_On_Parametric_Effects_of_Wettability_Roughness_and_Porosity_on_Nucleate_Pool_Boiling_Heat_Transfer 1 6 6 b6d4e84b-ac9a-4377-9314-715a808ca789 2016-05-23T12:06:09+02:00 2025-04-04T15:22:54+02:00 2016-05-23T12:06:09+02:00 13 info:srw/schema/1/mods-v3.3xml journalArticle published yes 5 Thuanny Borba Rios author Mariana Rocha Maximiano author Gabriel Cidade Feitosa author Martin Malmsten author a44612bb-8fbc-4b0e-b39d-212b018b1445 Octávio Luiz Franco author NanoLund: Centre for Nanoscience v1000190 department LTH Profile Area: Nanoscience and Semiconductor Technology v1001504 department LU Profile Area: Light and Materials v1001531 department Physical Chemistry v1000657 department <p>Infectious diseases in farm animals triggered by pathogenic microorganisms affect the health and well-being of livestock and human populations. Pathogen detection is an important step for the successful diagnosis, treatment and control of infectious diseases in animals. Pathogens that persist in the poultry and livestock industries can be responsible for more than 70% of emerging infections. Thus, rapid diagnostic tools are extremely important. In recent years, nanotechnology has emerged as a great opportunity to tackle this challenge and to develop fast, accurate and economical diagnostics for the detection of pathogens. Various nanostructures, due to the presence of unique characteristics shown in nanomaterials, have already been applied in biodiagnostics to detect specific molecular targets, including pathogen detection. In this context, this review focuses on the application, role and challenges of nanosensors in detecting disease-causing pathogens in agriculture. Several nanostructures are investigated for their utility in providing innovative solutions for pathogen detection in farm animals. This comprehensive examination seeks to unravel the intricate nanosensors landscape, shedding some light on their role in advancing diagnostic capabilities within the agricultural domain. By elucidating the challenges inherent in their application, the review contributes to the ongoing discourse on harnessing nanotechnology for the detection and management of infectious diseases in livestock, ultimately paving the way for developments in veterinary diagnostics.</p> https://portal.research.lu.se/en/publications/9c46a93e-3fa0-4f5a-991e-22bf5d4d6b2f Elsevier 2024-02 eng Agribusiness Animal health Diagnostic Immunosensors Nanoparticles Nanosensors Nanotechnology Peptides Microbiology in the Medical Area Nano-technology 2214-1804 85184595369 10.1016/j.sbsr.2024.100622 http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.sbsr.2024.100622 43 100622 https://www.scopus.com/pages/publications/85184595369 9c46a93e-3fa0-4f5a-991e-22bf5d4d6b2f 2024-03-12T12:29:45+01:00 2025-10-14T09:15:39+02:00 2024-03-12T12:29:45+01:00 14 info:srw/schema/1/mods-v3.3xml journalArticle published yes 9 Carlos Parra-López author Saker Ben Abdallah author Abdo Hassoun author Sandeep Jagtap author 15325e3a-5ae9-4b54-a37c-88b244daccea Guillermo Garcia-Garcia author Tarek Ben Hassen author Hana Trollman author Frank Trollman author Carmen Carmona-Torres author LTH Profile Area: Food and Bio v1001618 department Centre for Retail and Logistics (REAL) v1001780 department Engineering Logistics v1000260 department Vital to the economy, culture and landscape of many regions around the world, the olive sector faces significant challenges, including rising production costs, labour shortages, climate change impacts, water scarcity, quality control issues and market demands for transparency and authenticity.

Laboratory, pilot and full-scale studies emphasize the potential of this technology to offer promising treatment options to meet the future needs for clean water resources and to comply with stringent environmental regulations. The technology is now in the stage of being transferred to the real applications. Therefore, the assessment of its performance according to sustainability criteria and their incorporation into the decision-making process is a key task to ensure that long term benefits are achieved from the nano-treatment technologies. In this study, the importance of sustainability criteria for the conventional and novel technologies for the treatment of industrial effluents was determined in a general approach assisted by a fuzzy-Delphi method. The criteria were categorized in technical, economic, environmental and social branches and the current situation of the nanotechnology regarding the criteria was critically discussed. The results indicate that the efficiency and safety are the most important parameters to make sustainable choices for the treatment of industrial effluents. Also, in addition to the need for scaling-up the nanotechnology in various stages, the study on their environmental footprint must continue in deeper scales under expected environmental conditions, in particular the synthesis of engineered nanomaterials and the development of reactors with the ability of recovery and reuse the nanomaterials. This paper will aid to select the most sustainable types of nanomaterials for the real applications and to guide the future studies in this field.</p> https://portal.research.lu.se/en/publications/69cb0a87-f4f0-4f6a-905c-e375d5c37819 Elsevier 2019 eng Fuzzy-Delphi method Industrial wastewater treatment Nanotechnology Sustainability Water Treatment Nano-technology 0160-4120 85060956099 30731376 10.1016/j.envint.2019.01.055 http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.envint.2019.01.055 125 261 276 16 https://www.scopus.com/pages/publications/85060956099 69cb0a87-f4f0-4f6a-905c-e375d5c37819 2019-02-11T11:28:21+01:00 2026-05-15T02:47:07+02:00 2019-02-11T11:28:21+01:00 16 info:srw/schema/1/mods-v3.3xml journalArticle published yes 2 Carl Borrebaeck author 68077eca-2a0b-4da1-9080-9f8bf8b352a6 Christer Wingren author d5e72370-43cc-43ed-9b4c-d05971c2b4c9 Department of Immunotechnology v1000212 department Protein microarrays is a technology with great promise for high-throughput proteomics. Designing high-performance protein microarrays for global proteome analysis has, however, turned out to be challenging. To this end, major efforts are under way to design novel array formats capable of harboring the tremendous range of probes required to target complex proteomes composed of more than 10 000 analytes. By adopting nanotechnology, the first generation of miniaturized nanoarrays has recently emerged, which opens up new avenues for global proteome analysis and disease proteomics.

The main question addressed is whether reinterpretation, reformulation or replacement of Article 53 (c) of the European Patent Convention is viable and advisable. The issue is addressed by reference to both novel and resurfacing interpretative concerns connected with emerging technologies exemplified by nanomedicine, but also considering known interpretative issues, traditional objections and sustaining arguments concerning this provision. The debate concerning the patentability of ‘medical methods’ is multi-layered and complex. Article 53 (c) EPC is a public policy mechanism, intended to introduce flexibility in the patent system allowing the protection a core ethical value of society: the right to the highest attainable standard of health and more specifically the right of access to healthcare. However a balance needs to be struck with the need to preserve adequate levels of incentive to innovation in medical technologies. Nanotechnology inventions blur the lines between patentable subject matter and what may fall under the exception from patentability. It is a good example of how in recent years, emerging technologies have been challenging the patent system and exposing the need for re-thinking the adopted solutions.The analysis is made centered in European Patent law, however many jurisdictions have adopted similar legal provisions and face similar policy debates. For this reason, the issues debated are to some extent global. Every nation, arguably to a different extent, faces the issue of ensuring the protection and promotion of public health and wide access to medicine. In the current times of financial troubles it has become apparent that the traditional North/South division is a simplistic view: there are many ‘Souths’ in the North, while ‘Norths’ are merging in the South. Even if challenges are different from country to country and region to region, the same difficulties are faced by health authorities and families: resources are scarce, and the cost of (patented) medical technology is continuously increasing. On the other side, innovation is no longer a privilege of the North: investment in nanotechnology has been a global phenomenon, been seen as a way to close the technological gap and a highway for development. Protection of such investment in innovation is a growing necessity. The presented conclusions were based on the study of (1) the basic foundations of the norm,(2) the justifications for patent rights and how exceptions to such rights fit within the system; (3) the interpretative construction of the norm and its application in the praxis of the EPO; (4) The different approach chosen by the USA patent legislator to integrate similar policy considerations; (5) the specificity of emerging medical nanotechnology and how these conflict with the operative concepts used in patent law. https://portal.research.lu.se/en/publications/dc7f32e3-9edf-4775-8916-f0881dac634d Edward Elgar Publishing Ltd. 2016-06 eng Law Rättsvetenskap Law dc7f32e3-9edf-4775-8916-f0881dac634d 2018-01-11T10:08:07+01:00 2025-04-23T09:35:35+02:00 2018-01-11T10:08:07+01:00 18 info:srw/schema/1/mods-v3.3xml journalArticle published yes 5 Walter Reisner author Niels B.

By adjusting the spacing, organization and placement of the nanopits it is possible to immobilize DNA at predetermined regions of a device without additional chemical modification and achieve a high degree of control over local DNA conformation. DNA can be extended between two nanopits and in closely spaced arrays will self-assemble into "connect-the-dots" conformations consisting of locally pinned segments joined by fluctuating linkers. These results have broad implications for nanotechnology fields that require methods for the nanoscale positioning and manipulation of DNA. https://portal.research.lu.se/en/publications/397c668c-1d36-40c3-8d10-bb45b366cdfe National Academy of Sciences 2009 eng DNA conformation self-assembly nanofluidics polymer confinement Condensed Matter Physics (including Material Physics, Nano Physics) 1091-6490 1312966 000262263900018 58549094707 19122138 10.1073/pnas.0811468106 http://dx.doi.org/10.1073/pnas.0811468106 yes 106 1 79 84 https://www.scopus.com/pages/publications/58549094707 397c668c-1d36-40c3-8d10-bb45b366cdfe 2016-04-01T12:16:09+02:00 2025-10-14T09:41:35+02:00 2016-04-01T12:16:09+02:00 19 info:srw/schema/1/mods-v3.3xml journalArticle published yes 4 V.

Thilly author <p>We present here an unprecedented way of quantifying the number of dislocations in microcrystals. This method relies on a combination of several state-of-the-art techniques: coherent x-ray diffraction used as a local probe, together with the controlled compression of micro-objects. We demonstrate that by using this method, dislocations in the microcrystal can be detected and their number precisely quantified. This cannot be done with other techniques in a nondestructive way. Our method opens a route for the study of many small-scale systems with defect-dependent physical properties and it could become a critical tool for addressing future challenges in nanotechnology.</p> https://portal.research.lu.se/en/publications/2a3dd379-b3d2-4657-907f-977593991c53 American Physical Society 2013-08-07 eng 0031-9007 84881514207 10.1103/PhysRevLett.111.065503 http://dx.doi.org/10.1103/PhysRevLett.111.065503 yes 111 6 065503 https://www.scopus.com/pages/publications/84881514207 yes 2a3dd379-b3d2-4657-907f-977593991c53 2021-12-15T11:46:35+01:00 2025-10-14T11:31:29+02:00 2021-12-15T11:46:35+01:00 20 1.1abstract = nanotechnologyabstract=nanotechnology
