A substance with properties that arise from extremely small structures, of the order of 1 to 100 nanometres.
A substance with properties that arise from extremely small structures of the order of 1 to 100 nanometres. At this scale, materials can take on very different properties than larger particles of exactly the same material. Carbon nanotubes can be lighter but stronger than steel, and nanosilver has antibacterial properties.
