THE EMERGING ROLE OF NANOINFORMATICS IN AMERICA

Abstract

The rapid expansion of nanotechnology coupled with its integration into different scientific domains has led to a new era. In recent decades, there has been an emergence of nanoinformatics in the USA and other European countries which deals with information science and nanotechnology. The present study reports the initiation and applicative properties of nanoinformatics in accordance to its scientific roles in America. In order to achieve the required milestone in nanoinformatics, there are major challenges that need to be addressed as scanty reports are available on nanoinformatics. Hence, the study highlights the importance of nanoinformatics in data curation and mining along with the role of governing bodies and the establishment of databases. These establishments are well organized to implement the untapped role of nanoinformatics which is rapidly growing. The information provided in the present mini- review adds scientific inputs towards the growing knowledge of nanotechnology and information science along with their future prospects.
