Here are a few key terms frequently used in nanotechnology:
Nanomaterial: Any material with at least one dimension less than 100 nanometers. Nanoparticle: A particle with all three dimensions in the nanoscale, typically less than 100 nanometers. Nanoscale: Size range from approximately 1 to 100 nanometers. Nanocomposite: A composite material that incorporates nanoscale components. Nanotube: A cylindrical nanostructure, often made of carbon, with a diameter on the nanometer scale.
