*** WHAT'S COVERED ***
1. The definition of nanoparticles
* An explanation of their size (1-100 nanometres)
* The field of nanoscience
2. Key properties of nanoparticles
* A high surface area to volume ratio and why this occurs
3. The various uses of nanoparticles
* As catalysts to speed up chemical reactions
* In nanomedicine for targeted drug delivery (e.g., fullerenes)
* For creating tiny electrical circuits and computer chips
* The antibacterial properties of silver nanoparticles in surgical masks and wound dressings
4. The risks and potential issues with nanoparticles
* The uncertainty of their long-term effects on the human body
* The potential for environmental damage (e.g., from sun creams)
* The need for clear labelling and regulation
