      The most interesting thing I have learnt is that as you go smaller and smaller in dimension, the properties change completely. This is what makes Nanomaterials special. They are different and better in behaviour from the bulk stuff just because of being much smaller in size!! Isn’t that amazing.

      For example, Gold is gold, but nano-gold is red in colour.

      This was a very interesting phenomena to learn and eventually it became my research path – exploring Nanomaterials.
