A Comprehensive Overview of Internet of NanoThings and its Applications V. Padmavathy M. Sakthiivanitha Balajikannan V. Poornima R. Maruthi

INTRODUCTION: Internet of NanoThings (IoNT) is regarded as the next generation of the Internet of Things due to its bright future and wide range of applications . According to the global "Internet of Nanothings (IoNT) Market" research, there has been good growth in recent years, and this trend is expected to continue until 2030. IoNT is basically the Internet of Things on a nanoscale. IoNT essentially describes how nanoscale devices are connected to one another within current networks. A high-speed network can be used to connect different nanodevices through the IoNT. This study provides a comprehensive overview of the architecture, benefits and applications of IoNT. OBJECTIVES: The objective is to provide insights into IoNT framework and it applications in fields like healthcare, food industry, agriculture , environment monitoring etc, METHODS: This study explored the IoNT architecture and its applications. The exploration involves reviewing the articles, journals and other web resources. RESULTS: Highlights the aspects of IoNT and emphasizing the importance of its applications in various fields. The need to combine this research and emphasize the IoNT related applications stems from the dearth of research in the field. CONCLUSION: The world is becoming increasingly developed as a result of ongoing technological advancements. Future developments, which are expected to peak in the next one to two decades, will be led by IoT and nanotechnology. IoNT offers potential and means to enhance numerous facets of individuals' lives. Its primary characteristics are monitoring and diagnostic services, which support and improve decision-making and outcomes across a range of application domains.
