Why is the nanoscale special (or not)? Fundamental properties and how it relates to the design of nano-enabled drug delivery systems
Nanoscience studies describe natural phenomena at the submicron scale. Below a critical nanoscale limit, the physical, chemical, and biological properties of materials show a marked departure in their behavior compared to the bulk. At the nanoscale, energy conversion is dominated by phonons, whereas...
