Nanotechnology is the study and application of nanomaterials and can be used across all the other science fields, such as chemistry, biology, physics, materials science, and engineering. Their tiny structure means they have a greater relative surface area than other materials and this can alter or improve properties such as strength and electrical characteristics or reactivity. Their quantum effect can affect the electrical, magnetic or optical performance.
