CONT

La experiencia muestra que por debajo de un determinado tamaño los materiales presentan nuevas propiedades, distintas de las encontradas a escala macroscópica y a escala atómica. Las estructuras con tamaños característicos en el rango 1-100 nanómetros (un nanómetro es igual a la milmillonésima parte de un metro, equivalente a unos 10 átomos de carbono, uno al lado del otro) suelen presentar este comportamiento intermedio, o mesoscópico.

CONT

Uno de los avances más espectaculares llevados a cabo en física e ingeniería en años recientes es el experimentado por la nanotecnología: la habilidad de diseñar, controlar y modificar materiales a nivel cuasi-microscópico ó "mesoscópico".
