Goal or Need: | The field of nanotechnologies, researchers with the aid of microscopes name materials inspired by the shape of objects found in everyday life although the physical size is much smaller. The prefix, nano-, is often added 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.) To create a unitary standard, this document encompasses terms used in both nanosciences and nanotechnologies concerning particles at the nano-scale. |
