Detailed modeling by Gao's group indicates that the pronounced anelasticity in nanowires is because it is much easier for atoms to move
through nanoscale materials than through bulk materials.

Yes, nanotechnology is becoming ubiquitous in our daily lives and has found its way into many commercial products, for example, strong, lightweight
materials for better fuel economy; targeted drug delivery for safer and more effective cancer treatments; clean, accessible drinking water around the world; superfast computers with vast amounts of storage; self - cleaning surfaces; wearable health monitors; more efficient solar panels; safer food
through packaging and monitoring; regrowth of skin, bone, and nerve cells for better medical outcomes; smart windows that lighten or darken to conserve energy; and nanotechnology - enabled concrete that dries more quickly and has sensors to detect stress or corrosion at the
nanoscale in roads, bridges, and buildings.
