Reduction in the size and dimensions of the materials brings about a drastic change in their physical and chemical properties making them a powerful tool for advanced research and applications. Increased surface area, quantum confinement effects and good biocompatibility make them applicable in areas of biosensors, solar cells, nanoscale electronic devices, light-emitting nano devices, laser technology and waveguide. The fields are not just limited to the listed one. Research is still going on in the various techniques of synthesis of the nanomaterials that can open the scope further for the wide spread application of nano materials. The present paper deals with the different types of nano materials, their synthesis techniques, unique properties, applications and finally the future challenges in this regard.
