Nanomesh

Nanomesh is like a really tiny net made out of really small things called nanostructures. Nanostructures are so small that you can't see them with your eyes, you need a special machine called a microscope to see them.

Think of a regular net that you might use to catch butterflies. It's made out of threads that are woven together to make little holes in the net. Nanostructures are kind of like those threads, but they're way, way smaller.

When you put a bunch of these nanostructures together, they can create a net-like structure that's really thin and flexible, like a piece of cloth. But because the holes in the net are so small, things like bacteria or even tiny particles of dust can't get through.

Scientists use nanomesh for lots of things, like making tiny sensors or to help medicines get into your body more easily. But even though nanomesh is really cool, it's important to be careful when working with it because it's so small and delicate.
