ENMA442

An exploration of materials whose structure places them at the boundary between small objects and large molecules. Having characteristic dimensions in the range of 1-100 nanometers, these materials are difficult to synthesize and characterize but are nevertheless at the forefront of science and technology in many fields. Also, the methods for creating, manipulating and measuring these materials with an emphasis on the current scientific literature will be covered. The novel properties and potential applications will also be addressed.
