When Normal Physics Breaks Down: The Strange World of Nanoparticles

At the nanoscale, gold melts at a lower temperature, materials change colour, and quantum effects take over from classical physics. This episode introduces nanomaterials: what counts as 'nano', why properties change so dramatically at small scales, and the surface-area-to-volume ratio that explains it all. Topics: nanomaterials introduction | quantum effects | surface-area-to-volume ratio | nanoscale properties | size-dependent properties | nanotechnology.Don’t forget to follow the podcast so you don’t miss any episode.
