Abstract
Nanoscience and Nanotechnology are very vast and very old sciences that people know from the very beginning. Life started with the big bang, where all atomic and molecular phenomena happened, which falls under nanoscience. It is right to say nanoscience as the science of God. Knowingly or unknowingly, we come across many events in our daily life that are influenced by nano science and technology. Our “Rishis” used “Bhasma” for medication, which is a classic example of nanotechnology. 0D, 1D, 2D, and 3D nanoparticles are described and explained in detail. In this chapter, structural, optical, chemical, electronic, mechanical, thermal, and magnetic properties of nanoparticles in general are also discussed.
