Nanomaterials
Nanomaterials are engineered materials with structures and components at the nanoscale, typically 1 to 100 nanometers, giving them unique physical, chemical, and biological properties that differ vastly from their larger-scale counterparts. They drive innovation in everyday applications like electronics and medicine, where their enhanced strength, conductivity, or reactivity can lead to breakthroughs in energy storage and drug delivery.
Did you know?
The accidental discovery of carbon nanotubes in 1991 by Japanese physicist Sumio Iijima revolutionized the field, as these nanomaterials are 100 times stronger than steel yet six times lighter, paving the way for applications in everything from tennis rackets to space elevators.
