Nanoparticles in Measurement Science.

The article presents an overview of research which has investigated advances which have been seen in the use of nanoparticles for analytical measurements since 2002, and developments which have been seen in the field of nanotechnology since 2002 and which have resulted in new procedures for the synthesis of nanoscale materials. Advances in nanostructures which have been seen between January of 2010 and November of 2011 are discussed. The use of nanoparticles in spectroscopy is examined.
