This book will be an inspiring work for undergraduate and post graduate students of different colleges and universities for a grass root level understanding of the subject “Nanoscience and Technology.” Students after reading this book can develop an introductory idea about the concept of “Nano” which will make them interested in further studies. They will learn the basic features of nano materials as well as their basic characterization techniques and different fascinating applications that materials in Nano dimensions can have with the corresponding science behind them.

Nanoscience Concepts & Fundamentals

Nanoscience is revolutionizing science and technology across every sector — from medicine and energy to electronics and materials science. This foundational guide offers readers a solid understanding of the basic concepts that govern the science at the nanoscale.

What Is Nanoscience?

Nanoscience is the study of structures and materials on the scale of nanometers — a billionth of a meter. At this scale, materials display unique physical, chemical, and biological properties that differ from their bulk counterparts.

Key Topics Covered:

Definition and scope of nanoscience

Nanoscale matter and atomic structures

Quantum effects at the nanoscale

Nanomaterials and their classifications

Applications in electronics, medicine, and energy
