Question

Answer the following in short using maximum $30$ words.
Justify the statement "Nanotechnology plays by different rules".

Answer 1

Much of today's nanoscale research is designed to reach a better understanding of how matter behaves on this small scale. The factors that govern larger systems do not necessarily apply at the nanoscale. Because nanomaterials have large surface areas relative to their volumes, phenomena like friction and sticking are more important than they are in larger systems.
