Nanoscale Processes

Nanoscale processes involve interactions and changes that occur at extremely small dimensions, typically between 1 and 100 nanometers (a nanometer is a billionth of a meter). At this scale, materials often exhibit unique physical and chemical properties—such as increased strength, lighter weight, or new reactivity—due to quantum effects and large surface areas relative to volume. These processes are fundamental in developing advanced technologies like nanomedicine, electronics, and materials engineering, enabling precise manipulation of matter at the molecular or atomic level to create innovative products and solutions.
