Nanomaterial

http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/4.0

A material that is less than 100 nanometers in at least one direction – that is, less than about 1/1000 of the width of a human hair. Some materials have different properties at this small size than in their larger forms. Nanomaterials are being developed as methods to deliver genome-editing components to cells.
