Physicists contribute to various aspects of nanotechnology, including:
1. Theoretical Modeling: Physicists develop theoretical models to predict the behavior of nanoscale systems. These models help in understanding phenomena such as quantum confinement and surface plasmon resonance.
3. Material Synthesis: Physicists are involved in the synthesis of novel nanomaterials, including carbon nanotubes and quantum dots, which have unique properties due to their nanoscale dimensions.
