There are two major challenging problems facing humanity today which are the ongoing Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic started in late 2019 and the environmental crisis due to fossil fuels combustion causing over increase of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. While the first problem seems to be a temporary remedy for the second one due to less travels by individuals, actual solution of both problems may require a comprehensive scientific, technological, and socioeconomic decisions. In this report we look at the role of nanotechnology and nano-scale materials towards the solution of these two major challenges.
