Examples of smaller components in nanotechnology include:
- Quantum Dots: Semiconductor particles that exhibit unique optical and electronic properties. - Carbon Nanotubes: Cylindrical nanostructures with exceptional mechanical strength and electrical conductivity. - Nanowires: Ultra-thin wires that display unique electrical and thermal properties. - Fullerenes: Molecules composed entirely of carbon, in the form of a hollow sphere, ellipsoid, or tube.
