Nanometals: formation and color
Abstract:
Nanotechnology, nanoscience, nanostructures, nanoparticles… These are now some of the most widely used terms in materials science literature. But why are nanoscale materials and processes so attractive? From the point of view of the general public, nanotechnology appears to be the fabrication of miniature machines, which will be able to travel through the human body and repair damaged tissues, or supercomputers small enough to fit in a shirt pocket. However, nanostructured materials have potential applications in many more areas, such as biological detection, controlled drug delivery, low-threshold lasers, optical filters, and sensors, among others.
