It introduces the ISO/TS 27687 standard for categorizing nano-objects based on their external dimensions. Students explore the geometric taxonomy of 0D, 1D, 2D, and 3D materials, focusing on how quantum confinement and high surface-to-volume ratios emerge as dimensions are restricted. ### 🔑 Essential Concepts & Formulas | **Concept/Formula** | **Definition/Equation** | **When to Use** | **Quick
