molecular nanoscience

Molecular nanoscience is the study and manipulation of materials at an extremely small scale—about 1 to 100 nanometers—where quantum effects and unique physical properties emerge. By understanding and controlling individual molecules and their interactions, scientists can create new materials with enhanced strength, lighter weight, or special functions like targeted drug delivery. This field bridges chemistry, physics, and engineering to develop innovative applications, from advanced electronics to medical devices, by precisely designing matter at the molecular level.
