Nanocrystals
Nanocrystals are tiny particles measuring nanometers—billionths of a meter—making them much smaller than a human cell. Because of their small size, they have unique properties like increased strength, heightened reactivity, or enhanced optical qualities compared to larger particles made of the same material. These features make nanocrystals valuable in various applications, including medicine for targeted drug delivery, electronics for faster components, and energy storage. Their small scale allows for precise control over their behavior, enabling innovative solutions across technology, healthcare, and environmental fields.
