Nanostructured materials
Some nanostructures are used in applications where their individual properties are exploited (e.g. metal or hybrid nanoparticles for SERS substrates; quantum dots embedded in a polymer matrix to create luminescent filters).
A more intriguing approach is to exploit emerging collective properties in ensembles and assemblies, where the 0-D nanostructures interact and give rise to new, interesting, and useful material characteristics.
