This document discusses the properties and behavior of nano materials, which are between 1-100 nm in size. It explains that nano materials exhibit quantum effects and large surface area to volume ratios, resulting in new optical, mechanical, and chemical properties not seen in bulk materials. The document also notes that nano materials are difficult to study directly due to their small size and exhibit fluctuations that make them hard to model theoretically. Finally, it outlines obstacles to nano material research, such as high costs and the need for long term investments.
