Nanoparticles are extremely small particles that measure in the nanometer scale, typically between 1 and 100 nanometers in size. At this scale, materials often exhibit unique physical and chemical properties that differ significantly from those of their bulk counterparts, due to the greater surface area per volume and quantum effects. Nanoparticles can be composed of various materials, including metals, polymers, ceramics, and lipids, and are used across a wide range of applications. In medicine, they are used for targeted drug delivery systems, enhancing the efficacy and reducing side effects of treatments. In electronics, nanoparticles are used to create more efficient and compact devices. Environmental applications include the use of nanoparticles in the cleanup of industrial pollutants, as they can effectively absorb or break down contaminants at the molecular level. The versatile properties and applications of nanoparticles make them a focal point in advancements in technology, healthcare, and environmental protection.
