National defense applications refer to the use of nanotechnology—manipulating matter at the atomic and molecular scale (typically between 1 and 100 nanometers)—in military and national security contexts. At this scale, materials exhibit unique and superior physical, chemical, mechanical, optical, and electrical properties not observed in their bulk forms. The defense industry aims to leverage these novel properties to develop lighter, stronger, more durable, and multifunctional equipment, weapon
