ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Cosuanetes

Okay kiddo, let me try to explain what a "cosuanete" is.

Have you ever played with LEGO blocks? You know how you can put together different pieces to create something new and cool? Imagine if those LEGO pieces were really small and made up of particles so tiny that you can't even see them with your eyes.

Well, cosuanetes are kind of like those small LEGO pieces, but instead of building toys, they help scientists build things called materials. Materials are the things that make up everything around us -- from the clothes we wear to the houses we live in. And scientists use cosuanetes to create new materials that can do amazing things, like conduct electricity or withstand high temperatures.

Think of cosuanetes like little building blocks that scientists use to create all kinds of things. It's like magic, but with science!
