Abstract
Nanotechnology has been drawing the attention of the scientific community due to the properties that these nanomaterials have. Nanoparticles based on metals and metalloids, especially zinc oxide (ZnO NPs) and selenium (Se NPs) nanoparticles, are prominent in the biomedical and, more recently, agricultural areas, as they have potent antimicrobial and antitumor properties. The use of nanopa…
