Nanotechnology is an emerging field with an interdisciplinary research. It deals with tailoring of particles in the range of 1-100 nm to attain unique properties from their bulk counterpart. Nanoparticles can be synthesized by various means. Chemically synthesized nanoparticles utilize toxic chemicals as reducing agents, which makes it a not so favored method of synthesis. Repeated and improper devouring of antibiotics to combat infectious diseases leads to drug or even multi-drug resistant strains, which pose a significant threat to society. Silver nanoparticles seem to be the savior due to their antimicrobial activity against various pathogens. The synthesized nanoparticles were then characterized and checked for their antimicrobial activity and their mode of action.
Science and Technology are one of the disciplines of modern science under which, we study the various technologies, their applications, and the development led by these technologies.

Science & Technology is one of the subjects included in the civil services examination. Many questions circling around this subject have been asked both in UPSC Prelims and Mains.
To help aspirants prepare for IAS Exam, this article will provide them with the UPSC notes on Science and Technology. Science and Technology is part of the UPSC Mains Syllabus (GS III). Also, science subjects like Botany, Chemistry, and Biology are part of the optional subject choices in the IAS Mains exam. Subjects with a scientific base are high scoring, yet they often pose a challenge to IAS aspirants, as students find it hard to make notes balancing both static and dynamic topics/issues in the news.
