Nanoparticles for example take advantage of their dramatically increased surface area to volume ratio. Their optical properties, e.g.  are transforming the way we live and do business," said Alexis Abramson, Ph.D, Vice President of Technology Innovation at NorTech and Executive Director of the Nano-Network, a program of NorTech, Northeast Ohio's technology-based economic development organization.
