30. What are Nanotechnologies? Not new materials but smaller forms of familiar materials whose properties differ significantly from those at a larger scale. The smaller the particle, the larger its surface area and reactivity. Most definitions revolve around the study and control of phenomena and materials at length scales below 100 nm and quite often they make a comparison with a human hair, which is about 80,000 nm wide 1 nm = 1 billionth of a meter
