Nanoscience

Nanoscience is the study of materials and processes at the nanoscale, which is about 1 to 100 nanometers—much smaller than the width of a human hair. In surface physics, it investigates how the tiny surfaces at this scale behave, interact with light and matter, and influence material properties. Understanding these interactions helps us create new materials and technologies with improved performance, such as better catalysts, stronger coatings, or more efficient electronics, ultimately advancing fields like medicine, energy, and information technology.
