What is a Nanoparticle?

A nanoparticle is a material with at least one dimension between 1-100 nanometers (nm).
The term "nano" originates from the Greek word "Nanos," meaning "dwarf" or "small."
Norio Taniguchi coined the term "nanotechnology" in 1974.
A nanometer is one billionth of a meter (10^-9 meters).

Nano- Simple Examples

The population of India is one billion, or 100 crore.
Each individual in India, like yourself, is considered "nano" in comparison to the total population.

Classification of Nanoscale Dimensions

Zero-dimensional (0D) materials have all three dimensions (x, y, z) within the nanoscale (less than 100 nm).
Quantum confinement occurs in 0D materials.
All three dimensions are within the nanoscale.

What is a Nanoparticle?

A nanoparticle is any material with at least one dimension between 1-100 nanometers (nm).
The term "nano" comes from the Greek word "Nanos," meaning "dwarf."
The term "nanotechnology" was coined by Norio Taniguchi in 1974.
A nanometer is one billionth of a meter (10^-9 m).

Comparison of Macro, Micro, and Nanoscale

The text compares macro-, micro-, and nanoscale objects.
Nanomaterials are significantly smaller than micro and macro materials.

Nano - "Small" Example

The population of India is one billion people.
Each individual is considered "nano" when compared to the total population.

Nano - "Small" Example

One rupee is considered "nano" when compared to 100 crore rupees.

Classification of Nanoscale Dimensions

Zero-Dimensional (0D) materials have all three dimensions (x, y, z) within the nanoscale (less than 100 nm)
0D materials show quantum confinement.
