nanoskalaisissa
nanoskalaisissa refers to things operating or existing at the nanoscale. The nanometer is a unit of length equal to one billionth of a meter. This scale is incredibly small, far smaller than what can be seen with a standard optical microscope. At this level, materials exhibit unique physical, chemical, and biological properties that differ from their bulk counterparts. These properties arise from quantum mechanical effects and a high surface-area-to-volume ratio.
The study and application of phenomena and technologies that occur at the nanoscale is known as nanotechnology.
Objects and processes that are nanoskalaisissa can include nanoparticles, nanotubes, thin films, and even individual atoms
