The principle "smaller is better" holds true in nanotechnology for several reasons:
Material Properties: At the nanoscale, materials can exhibit unique physical and chemical properties that they do not at larger scales. Biomedical Applications: Nanoparticles can interact with biological systems at the cellular level, enabling targeted drug delivery and improved diagnostics. Catalysis: Smaller particles have a higher surface area to volume ratio, which makes them more reactive and efficient as catalysts. Precision: Smaller components allow for higher precision in manufacturing and technology, enhancing performance and reducing waste.
