Nanoscience and Nanomaterials
Nanoscience and Nanomaterials involves the making and studying of materials and their properties from the nanoscale to bulk or extended solid-state structures.
Nanoscience is a fascinating field where reducing matter to the nanometer scale reveals remarkable properties distinct from their larger, bulk counterparts.
