NanotechnologyNanotechnology, or nanotech, is an engineering technique using molecular scale functional systems. Applications of nanotechnology include medicine and medical devices, electronics, air and water purification, food science and energy production.Dynamic Light ScatteringDynamic light scattering is used to measure the size distribution of particles in suspension by analyzing the way light scatters off them. It is commonly used in materials science, nanotechnology, and protein characterization.
