Several types of 3D nanostructures are commonly studied and utilized in nanotechnology:
Nanoparticles: Spherical or quasi-spherical structures that can be used in medical imaging and cancer treatment. Nanotubes: Cylindrical structures with high aspect ratios, often used in electronics and materials science. Nanowires: Wire-like structures that exhibit exceptional electrical and thermal conductivity. Nanocages: Hollow structures that can encapsulate molecules, useful in drug delivery and catalysis.
