Crossword clues for nanoparticle
nanoparticle
Wiktionary
n. any microscopic particle less than about 100 nanometers (nm) in diameter. In aerosol science, the term is often reserved for particles less than 50 nm in diameter; the term "ultrafine particles" is used for particles less than 100 nm in diameter.
Wikipedia
Nanoparticles are particles between 1 and 100 nanometers in size. In nanotechnology, a particle is defined as a small object that behaves as a whole unit with respect to its transport and properties. Particles are further classified according to diameter. Ultrafine particles are the same as nanoparticles and between 1 and 100 nanometers in size, fine particles are sized between 100 and 2,500 nanometers, and coarse particles cover a range between 2,500 and 10,000 nanometers. Scientific research on nanoparticles is intense as they have many potential applications in medicine, optics, and electronics. The U.S. National Nanotechnology Initiative offers government funding focused on nanoparticle research.
