      This. You just don’t hear the word anymore. For example, it was instrumental in producing the COVID-19 vaccine.

      The reason pencils work as well as they do is because of the way they are constructed, of nanomaterials.

          Well it’s not suddenly a nano material. It’s always been one. We are still exploring it.

            Much like one of the ways stained glass was colored in the medieval period involved adding materials to the glass that acted as nano materials. For example this one particular shade of red needed gold.
