Nanostructured Materials: Less is More

Rise in the global population with improved living standard need more consumables than the past. The human population has grown from 6 billion in 1999 to 7 billion in 2012, i.e., one billion is added in 12 years of time, and is expected to reach 10 billion by 2050 – 2060. However, the planet Earth...
