Nanostructured materials are materials that have structures at the nanoscale, typically between 1 and 100 nanometers. This small size can significantly alter their physical and chemical properties, making them stronger, lighter, or more reactive than their larger counterparts. These materials can be found in various forms, including nanoparticles, nanowires, and thin films. Due to their unique properties, nanostructured materials are used in a wide range of applications, such as in electronics, medicine, and energy storage. For example, they can improve the efficiency of solar cells or enhance the effectiveness of drug delivery systems. Their versatility makes them a key area of research in materials science.
