Definition(s)
Nanoparticles are tiny materials (under 1000 nm in size) that have specific physicochemical properties different to bulk materials of the same composition [...] nanoparticles can act on living cells at the nanolevel resulting not only in biologically desirable, but also in undesirable effects.
