Nanophysics
Nanophysics is the branch of nanoscale science that studies the energy and matter structures, and physical forces existing in nano-domains. Nanophysics helps us to understand the response of nanomaterials to various stimuli like electromagnetic radiations or to other matters. The resulting knowledge is useful in developing insights into material behavior, fabricating designer materials, and in discovering novel phenomena in applied disciplines like materials science, nanochemistry, and nanobiology.
