Nanotechnology can be a powerful weapon in creating competitive advantages in the energy market, through the use of the photovoltaic nanopanels, which may reduce production costs and simultaneously permit to achieve the socio-environmental requirements. Moreover, today the adoption of nanotechnology in energy production can make this kind of energy very interesting along the years. Nanotechnology may, in fact, be responsible for unimaginable gains, both economically and for preserving the planet. The use of nanotechnology in the industry production processes is evidenced in this article. The example of the electric energy produced by photovoltaic panels is the vehicle to do so. The competitive advantage associated to the use of nanotechnology to solar energy production for companies in this market segment is highlighted. Finally, in addition to the already existent nanopanels, another opportunity to revolutionize the market, already in sight, is presented: the Nanogenerators that can convert the mechanical energy of body motion in electricity.

There is already a significant time, but it gives the sensation of an extremely short period – nanotechnology has become one of the most promising scientific hopes in innumerable human domains. Now the hope became reality. Countless scientific studies in several areas of knowledge have been made since the nanoscale emergence, carrying their contribution to the nanoscience development. The recent researches in this field allowed the union of interests among several areas, such as physical sciences, molecular engineering, biology, biotechnology, and medicine, contributing to the investigation of biosystems at a nanoscale. This chapter begins by discussing nanotechnology in a general way. Then nanotechnology and its applications in industry, in electronics, and in medicine are presented, and some discussion is proposed in order to define the boundaries for the advances in those areas. In the end, nanotechnology is discussed in terms of ethics and the borders that nanotechnology applications must satisfy, and concluding notes are presented, highlighting the results of the analysis. Important considerations are made about the close connection between ethics and the nanotechnology and the effects over the society and values. Some future directions for the research are suggested.

Since a significant time ago, although time runs very fast,nanotechnology transformed from one of the most promising scientific hopes in uncountable human domains into a marvelous certainty. Innumerable scientific studies in several areas of knowledge were made since nanoscale emergence, carrying their contribution to the nanoscience development, leading to a great development of technical and scientific knowledge but also raising numerous problems in the ethical field. In this work, nanotechnology is discussed both in terms of ethics and in terms of borders that nanotechnology applications must satisfy and concluding notes are presented, highlighting the results of the analysis. Significant considerations are made on the close connection between ethics and the nanotechnology and the effects over the society and values.
