Nanoscale

Nanoscale refers to structures measured in nanometers, which are one-billionth of a meter—much smaller than the width of a human hair. At this scale, materials often have unique properties, such as increased strength or improved reactivity, because their atoms and molecules behave differently than in bulk form. Nanoscale science and technology explore and manipulate these tiny structures, leading to innovations in medicine, electronics, energy, and materials. Essentially, it’s about working with incredibly small components to create new, advanced functionalities that aren’t possible at larger scales.
