It's used in medicine, meta materials, and physics everyday.
This. You just don’t hear the word anymore. For example, it was instrumental in producing the COVID-19 vaccine.

Much like one of the ways stained glass was colored in the medieval period involved adding materials to the glass that acted as nano materials. For example this one particular shade of red needed gold.
