nanotechnology

16 articles

Nanotechnology involves the engineering and manipulation of materials at the nanoscale (1–100 nanometers), where unique physical and chemical properties emerge. In plant science, nanomaterials are being explored to enhance nutrient delivery, improve stress tolerance, and enable precise gene editing, offering new tools to boost crop productivity and resilience. This field also holds promise for developing sensitive nanosensors that can monitor plant health and environmental conditions in real time.
