Abstract

Nanoscience is one of the most important research and development frontiers in modern science.1 Nano is a Greek word meaning dwarf, and the nanometer (nm, 10−9 m) defines the length scale that is used to measure systems being studied in nanoscience. In the most simplistic sense, nanoscience is the science of small particles of materials. Such small particles are of interest from a fundamental viewpoint because all properties of a material (e.g., melting point, electronic properties, optical properties) change when the size of the particles that makes up the material become nanoscopic. With new properties come new opportunities for technological and commercial development, and applications of nanoparticles have been demonstrated or proposed in areas as diverse as microelectronics, coatings and paints, and biotechnology.
