Hi everyone,

I'm looking for websites that provide information on what a nanoparticle is and which explain the physics of how its structure remains stable.
Can anyone recommend a site or more that explain it as simple as possible, in a manner that is understandable for non-scientist?

Thank you!

Hi motleycat:

I suggest you look at the Wikipedia article. You can do a search from your browser using:
nanoparticle !wiki​
This may tell you more than you want to know.

Hope this helps.

Regards,
Buzz
