Nanoscience involves the study of materials and structures at the nanoscale, typically ranging from 1 to 100 nm. At this scale, materials exhibit distinctive physical and chemical properties, primarily due to the increased surface area-to-volume ratio.
Applications of Nanoscience:
- Medical: Nanoparticles for targeted drug delivery.
- Electronics: Quantum dots used in display technologies.
- Energy: Nanostructured coatings in solar cells to enhance efficiency.
