Question 5 • Physics

Nanotechnology and microtechnology devices are both very tiny. However, one property of nanotechnology distinguishes it from microtechnology. What is this unique property?

Answer
A
Nanotechnology can create new products.
B
Nanotechnology travels at the speed of light if needed.
C
Nanotechnology can display wave-particle duality.
D
Nanotechnology is not affected by gravity.

Explanation

At the nanoscale, particles can show quantum effects, including wave-particle duality: they can behave like both particles and waves. This is what distinguishes nanotechnology from ordinary microtechnology. The other choices describe abilities or effects that do not uniquely characterize nanotechnology.
