Nano Structures

Nanostructures refer to materials or devices that have dimensions on the nanometer scale, typically ranging from 1 to 100 nanometers. These structures can be engineered or naturally occurring and exhibit unique physical, chemical, and biological properties due to their small size and high surface area-to-volume ratio. Common examples include nanoparticles, nanowires, nanotubes, and quantum dots.In recent years, nanostructures have garnered significant interest across various fields including electronics, photonics, medicine, and environmental science. They are used in applications such as drug delivery systems, sensors, catalysis, energy storage, and nanoelectronics. Their ability to manipulate and control properties at the atomic and molecular levels opens up new possibilities for enhancing performance and efficiency in existing technologies while paving the way for entirely new innovations.Research in nanostructures continues to push the boundaries of what is possible, driving advances that promise to revolutionize industries and improve quality of life in the future.
