- | The field of nanotechnologies, researchers with the aid of microscopes name materials inspired by theshape of objects found in everyday life although the physical size is much smaller. The prefix, nano-, is oftenadded to denote the small size of the object. (The prefix nano-, is also used in S.I. units to indicate 10−9 e.g.1 nanometre = 10−9 metre.) |
