Nanofabrication

Nanofabrication is the process of designing and creating structures at the nanoscale, which is incredibly small—typically between 1 to 100 nanometers (a nanometer is one billionth of a meter). This technique is essential for developing advanced materials and devices, such as computer chips, sensors, and medical tools. By manipulating materials at this tiny scale, scientists and engineers can enhance properties like strength, conductivity, and reactivity, leading to innovations in technology, medicine, and manufacturing. Essentially, nanofabrication allows us to build and mold the very building blocks of matter for practical applications.
