Activities
30/03/2023 Developments in the fields of nanosciences and nanotechnologies in the past few decades have opened up new ways of controlling and manipulating material properties through reduction of particle size down to the nanoscale (1-100 nm). This has led to the development of a number of novel or improved products and applications for a wide range of sectors, including the agricultural and food sector. Nanotechnology is recognized as one of the six Key En...Continue
