Nanomaterials behave differently from their bulk counterparts due to their small size and large surface area. Scientists can tune the composition, size, and shape of nanomaterials to engineer something completely new with ideal properties. For example, tiny silver clusters can have antimicrobial properties, two-dimensional silver wires can make foldable touchscreens, and ultra-thin silver films can be used in solar cells. The uniqueness of nanomaterials makes nanotechnology exciting and diverse!
