Nanoengineering

Nanoengineering is a field that involves designing and manipulating materials and devices at an incredibly small scale, typically at the level of atoms or molecules (one billionth of a meter). This allows scientists and engineers to create new materials with unique properties and functionalities. Applications include improving medical treatments through targeted drug delivery, enhancing electronics with smaller, more efficient components, and developing stronger, lighter materials for various uses. By understanding and controlling matter at this tiny scale, nanoengineering opens up innovative solutions across many industries, from health care to energy to environmental protection.
