Nanoscience & Nanotechnology (NSC)

Section Information

Nanoscience and Nanotechnology focus on the study, design, and application of materials and systems at the nanoscale, where unique physical, chemical, and biological properties emerge. The field integrates physics, chemistry, materials science, biology, and engineering to develop advanced nanoscale technologies.

Current research includes nanoparticle synthesis, nanostructured materials, nanoelectronics, nanomedicine, energy nanomaterials, and nanoscale characterization techniques. Advances in atomic-level fabrication, scanning probe methods, computational modeling, and nanofabrication processes are expanding practical applications across industries.
