Nanoscale Science and Engineering

Nanoscale Science and Engineering focuses on understanding and manipulating materials at the nanoscale, which is about 1 to 100 nanometers—much smaller than the width of a human hair. At this tiny scale, materials often exhibit unique properties, such as increased strength, lighter weight, or enhanced chemical reactivity. Researchers in this field design and create new materials and devices for applications in medicine, electronics, energy, and environmental science. By harnessing these properties, nanoscale innovations can lead to breakthroughs in various technologies, improving everything from medical treatments to renewable energy solutions.
