Thare have been similar dissussions on wether thermodynamics (equilibrium theory) can be applied to small systems of finite size (such as nanostructures), because they are in principle "metastable" (relative to bulk).

Each half of its "petri-dish" shell has two layers that are covered with a regular pattern of tiny pores called "nanostructures"

Dwyer has shown that these nanostructures will efficiently self-assemble, and when different light-sensitive molecules are added to the mixture, the waffles exhibit unique and “programmable” properties that can be readily tapped.

But rather than shedding water, beetles in the Namib desert are using a series of alternating waxy and non-waxy nanostructures to capture precious moisture from the early morning fog.

Similarly, non-reflective materials have been improved by imitating the nanostructures found in the wings of cicada insects.

“Beautiful pictures of nanostructures capture the imagination, but if a picture is worth 1,000 words, then a table, filled with accurate atomic coordinates, is worth 1,000 pictures,” says Simon Billinge, who studies what he has dubbed the nanostructure problem at Columbia University and Brookhaven National Laboratory.

Computational advances will also make it possible to design radiation-resistant materials literally atom by atom and, perhaps, specially tailored nanostructures that could store long-lived nuclear waste safely for tens of thousands of years.
