Nanostructured materials

Nanostructured materials are substances engineered with features at the nanoscale—about 1 to 100 nanometers—much smaller than a human hair. This tiny size enables unique properties, such as increased strength, lighter weight, enhanced chemical reactivity, or improved electrical conductivity, compared to their larger-scale counterparts. These materials are used in various applications like advanced electronics, medical devices, energy storage, and coatings. By controlling structures at the nanometer level, scientists can tailor materials for specific functions, opening new possibilities across industries.
