Nanoparticles are typically defined as particles with at least one dimension in the size range of 1 to 100 nanometres (nm). One nanometre is equal to 10⁻⁹ metres. Therefore, 100 nm is equal to 100 x 10⁻⁹ m = 10⁻⁷ m. A particle having at least one dimension less than 10⁻⁷ metre falls within this nanoscale range.
A particle having at least one dimension less than 10⁻⁷ metre, is known as
