What are Some Examples of Hierarchical Structures in Nanotechnology?
One notable example is the [lotus leaf]() effect, where the hierarchical structure of the leaf surface leads to superhydrophobicity and self-cleaning properties. Another example is the structure of [bone](), which consists of a hierarchical arrangement of collagen fibers and hydroxyapatite crystals, providing exceptional strength and toughness. In electronics, [quantum dots]() arranged hierarchically can lead to enhanced performance in solar cells and LEDs.
