Nano Physics

The science of objects and structures with dimensions in the nanoscale range as well as events occurring in nanoseconds is what is meant by the term "nanophysics," which is accurate. It is only a tiny fraction of a meter—a nanometer—to be exact. Only halfway across a human hair's breadth could you traverse 50,000 nanometers. The behavior of matter at this scale, however, is novel, as researchers have found. The accurate definition of nanophysics is the physics of structures and artefacts with dimensions inside the nanometer variety or of phenomena taking area in nanoseconds. A nanometer is a mere one billionth of a meter. If you were to travel 50,000 nanometers, you'd only be halfway across the width of a human hair. But researchers have discovered that matter at this scale behaves in revolutionary ways.
