Nanoscience and Nanotechnology
Nanoscience is the study of phenomena and the manipulation of materials at atomic, molecular, and macromolecular scales, where properties differ significantly from those observed at larger scales. This unique approach allows for the manipulation of materials' shape and size at the nanoscale, enabling the design, characterization, manufacturing, and application of nanoscale structures, devices, and systems. Collectively, these efforts are known as Nanotechnology. Modeling nanoscale materials, objects, and interactions plays a critical role in nanotechnology, as advancing this field relies on a deep understanding of these fundamental interactions. Key areas of research within nanotechnology include:
- Drug Delivery and Nanoparticles
- Molecular Nanotechnology
- Bionanoscience
- Lipid Nanoparticles
- Nanofluidics and Nanoionics
- Nanobiopharmaceutics
