Nano-scale technologies

Nano-scale technologies involve manipulating materials at an extremely small scale—about 1 to 100 nanometers, which is billionths of a meter. At this level, materials exhibit unique properties such as increased strength, lighter weight, or enhanced chemical reactivity. These properties enable the development of advanced products in medicine, electronics, energy, and materials science, allowing for more precise, efficient, and innovative solutions. Nano-tech is fundamentally about understanding and designing on the atomic and molecular scale to create new functionalities not possible with traditional materials.
