Claim:
1. A method for producing uniformly sized nanoparticles comprising: blending at least a first precursor and at least a second precursor together to form a liquid precursor mixture; conducting the liquid precursor mixture along a continuous flow path; activating the liquid precursor mixture with one or more of multimodal and multivariable microwave energy from a microwave energy source along the continuous flow path for a first duration at a first energy level thereby allowing uniform nucleation of the mixture of precursors; heating the liquid precursor mixture with a heating source along the continuous flow path for a second duration at a controlled temperature, thereby promoting uniform thermodynamic growth around previously formed nucleates to form desired core sized nanoparticles; and quenching the growth of the nanoparticles after heating.
