What are Some Applications of Phase Control in Nanotechnology?
Controlling phases in nanotechnology has numerous applications:
Drug Delivery: Nanoparticles that change phase in response to environmental stimuli can release drugs in a controlled manner. Nanoelectronics: Phase-change materials can be used to develop non-volatile memory storage devices. Catalysis: Nanocatalysts with specific phases can enhance reaction rates and selectivity. Sensors: Phase transitions can be used in the design of highly sensitive nanosensors.
