2. Why Nano for Electronics New designed materials offer new and unique properties

3. Enables the development and cost efficient production of state-of-the-art components operate faster has higher sensitivity consume less power can be packed at much higher densities It can become stronger, conduct heat better, and show extraordinary electrical properties What Properties?

4. Example: at the nanoscale, the resistance dependence of a material on an external magnetic field is significantly amplified, which has led to the fabrication of hard disks with a data storage density in the gigabyte and terabyte ranges. Nanotechnology has also enabled the development of sensors suitable for measurements at the molecular level with an unprecedented sensitivity and response time, mainly due to their high surface to volume ratio.
