Nanostructured surfaces

Nanostructured surfaces are materials engineered with tiny features, often at the scale of billionths of a meter, called nanometers. These microscopic structures give the surface unique properties, such as improved strength, water repellency, or enhanced ability to interact with cells or light. By controlling these nanometer-sized features, scientists can customize surfaces for specific uses like medical implants, snow-resistant coatings, or more efficient solar cells. Despite their incredibly small size, these structures have a significant impact on the material's behavior and performance, opening up numerous advanced technological applications.
