Abstract

Nanotechnology, at the intersection of science and engineering, holds immense promise for revolutionizing various aspects of our lives. This study employs the Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modelling (SEM AMOS) algorithm to comprehensively analyze the effects of nanotechnology on the future living standards of society. We examine how nanotechnology innovations in fields such as medicine, energy, materials, and electronics are poised to reshape our quality of life. Through an extensive review of existing literature and empirical data, we provide insights into the potential benefits and challenges associated with the widespread adoption of nanotechnology. Our findings suggest that nanotechnology has the potential to significantly enhance future living standards by enabling advancements in healthcare, sustainable energy solutions, and cutting-edge materials. However, we also identify key considerations, including ethical and safety concerns that must be addressed to ensure the responsible development and utilization of nanotechnology. This research contributes to a better understanding of the multifaceted impacts of nanotechnology on society, offering valuable insights for policymakers, researchers, and stakeholders seeking to harness its transformative potential for the benefit of humanity.
