abstract = "Nanomaterials deserve special attention since they constitute a kind of material that improves structural and functional properties compared to the bulk material. Nanomaterials have emerged as materials with at least one dimension in the range of 1 to 100 nm. They can be classified into different classes based on their properties, shapes (0D, 1D, 2D, or 3D), or sizes. Nanomaterials possess unique physical and chemical properties due to their high surface area and nanoscale size. They can be produced with outstanding magnetic, electrical, optical, mechanical, and catalytic properties that are substantially different from their bulk counterparts. Their optical properties are reported to depend on the size, which imparts different colors due to absorption in the visible region. Their reactivity, toughness, and other properties are also dependent on their unique size, shape, and structure. In summary, their properties can be tuned by controlling the size, shape, synthesis conditions, and appropriate functionalization. This talk will review the past, present, and future of nanomaterials. Based on our research developed in recent years in this area, we will review some of the most important milestones we have reached thanks to the collaboration with international research centers. We will mention the semiconductor systems (ZnO, TiO2,...), nanomaterials with luminescent properties (Gd2O3, Eu2O3,...), multi/single-wall carbon nanotubes, and many other "exotic" materials due to their small size.",
