Nanotechnologie

Nanotechnology is the manipulation and engineering of materials and devices on a nanoscale, typically between 1 and 100 nanometers. At this scale, unique physical and chemical properties emerge, which differ significantly from those of bulk materials. This interdisciplinary field encompasses various areas, including physics, chemistry, biology, materials science, and engineering. Applications of nanotechnology are vast and include advancements in medicine (such as targeted drug delivery), electronics (like smaller and more efficient transistors), energy (improved solar cells and batteries), and materials (stronger, lighter composites). The fundamental principle of nanotechnology is that by controlling and fabricating structures at the nanoscale, one can create new functionalities and enhance the performance of existing materials and devices.
