SMALL PARTICLES, HIGH STAKES!
Imagine putting atoms together as if they were Lego® bricks, each combination giving rise to substances and objects with new, extraordinary properties – this is the current task of scientists working in nanomaterials.
Nanoparticles are smaller than 100 nanometers in size and have singular atomic structures, lending new physical and chemical properties to materials in which they are used, making them lighter, stronger, more thermally and electrically conductive, transparent, etc. [Read more...]
