With nanotechnology, our researchers can create very small structures. The technology enables the development of materials that hold promise for future advances in fields such as information technology, sustainability and precision medicine. When a material becomes very small, it can acquire entirely new properties. On the nanoscale, a substance can behave in a radically different way than when it
