Oldest known human-made nanostructures dated to 600 BC discovered in Tamil Nadu. Scientists have discovered the oldest known human-made nanomaterials in the "unique black coatings" of ancient pottery shards -- dated to 600 BC -- unearthed from an archeological site in Keeladi, Tamil Nadu.

According to the scientists, including those from Vellore Institute of Technology (VIT) in Tamil Nadu, the coatings are "the oldest nanostructures observed till now.
