Why is this small scale important? What scientists discovered in the latter part of the 20th century is that when materials are at the nanoscale (meaning they have at least one dimension [height, length, or depth] that measures between 1-100 nanometers) their physical and chemical properties are different from the same material with macroscale dimensions.
Nanotechnology is a relatively new field of science and technology that studies tiny objects (0.1–100 nm). Due to various positive attributes displayed by the biogenic synthesis of nanoparticles (NPs) such as cost-effectiveness, none to negligible environmental hazards, and biological reduction served as an attractive alternative to its counterpart chemical methods.
