Nanotechnology, or the engineering, synthesis, and manipulation of particles having dimensions between about 1 and 100 nanometers (nm), is a significant area of study in the present day. Nanotechnology entails not only the creation of new materials, but also the investigation or application of their unusual physicochemical, biological, and optoelectronic features. Silver's broad breadth of antibacterial actions and its ability to inhibit or kill bacteria quickly at high concentrations are not new discoveries. Because of its singular qualities, silver is vital in the fields of chemistry, physics, and biology. Synthesizing silver nanoparticles is often done using a combination of chemical, physical, and biological processes. Biological synthesis is superior to chemical and physical methods because it may be used on a wide scale without the use of harmful chemicals, toxic solvents, or high pressure/energy/temperature. Biosynthesized silver nanoparticles have antibacterial properties and find use in the pharmaceutical, medical, and dental industries.
