Green nanotechnology

Green nanotechnology is a type of science that uses nanotechnology to help make things better for the environment. It involves the use of tiny nanomachines (machines thousands of times smaller than a human hair) to solve environmental problems. For example, nanomachines could be used to clean up pollutants from water, or clean up garbage from landfills. They can also help make products more efficient and reduce energy use. By making things smaller and more efficient, green nanotechnology can help us protect our planet.
