Nanomaterials

See the Nanomaterials category for an exhaustive list of articles related to this subject. What follows is an introduction.

Nanomaterials describe, in principle, materials of which a single unit is sized (in at least one dimension) between 1 and 1000 nanometres (10 meter) but is usually 1—100 nm (the usual definition of nanoscale).

Nanomaterials research takes a materials science-based approach to nanotechnology, leveraging advances in materials metrology and synthesis which have been developed in support of microfabrication research. Materials with structure at the nanoscale often have unique optical, electronic, or mechanical properties.

Nanomaterials are slowly becoming commercialized and beginning to emerge as commodities.
