Tailoring in nanotechnology is achieved through various techniques: - Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD): This method allows for the precise deposition of thin films of materials, enabling the customization of surface properties. - Self-Assembly: Molecules can be designed to self-assemble into desired nanostructures, providing a bottom-up approach to material design. - Lithography: Techniques like electron-beam lithography can create highly detailed patterns at the nanoscale.
